Many students are excited that homework officially begins on Monday. Your child will bring home math and spelling homework. The math homework comes with two Family Letters that go along with each unit of our Everyday Math program. I am sending the letter for Units 1 and 2, so you can be aware of the skills children have been learning/practicing at school. There is a two-sided homework page for students to complete. Homework is due on Friday each week.
Your child will also bring home a spelling skills list. This goes along with our SWR (Spelling, Writing, Reading) program. The word family skills (phonetic words, which can be "sounded out") and the "red words" (words that have irregular spelling patterns) are included on this list. I have included a list of ideas for practice at home on the back of the SWR Skills page. There is no formal written homework for SWR, but children benefit greatly when these skills are practiced at home. The ideas list gives many fun, engaging activities to use at home.
