Weekly Homework
The following items are homework that each student will have weekly.
Spelling- On Monday, students must write Spelling words 3 times each. Challenge words must be written 5 times.
Reading- Each Monday, students will begin reading our new story. We will complete a Reading Review on Fridays to grade comprehension and vocabulary. Worksheets are given in class. Only those students who do not complete their work in class will have to take those home.
Math- Most lessons have a worsksheet to correspond with it. If students do not complete this in class, they will have to bring it home.
Never discourage anyone who continually makes progress, no matter how slow!
