Homework Expectations
Your child will have homework every night; it is made up of two parts. One part is math, your child will have a couple of math problems to solve each night. The math is split up by day of the week. The expectation is that your child completes the problems for the day of the week that it is. Your child is more than welcome to work ahead.
The second part of your child’s homework is reading. Your child should read every night. The more your child reads the more words they are exposed to; therefore, expanding their vocabulary. Your child should choose a book that interests them and that they can read independently. Ideally, your child should read for 20 minutes every night; they can read on their own or out loud to you, a sibling, or a pet. Each night your child should keep track of how long they read. After reading, your child should fill in their reading log. Your child should color one small block for every minute that they read. At the end of the week your child must have read at least 50 minutes; the goal is that they read 100; they can always read more.
Below are pictures of samples of what your child's homework will look like each week.
