     ​     ​                    HOMEWORK ROUTINE


-There will be Math and Literacy homework, Monday through Thursday.  


-It is extremely beneficial to read to your child every night:
Reasons for Reading to your Children...    

 

Because when you hold them and give them this attention, they know you love them.

 

Because reading to them will encourage them to become readers.

 

Because children’s books today are so good that they are fun even for adults.

 

Because illustrations in children’s books often rank with the best, giving children a lifetime feeling for good art.

 

Because books are one way of passing on your values.

 

Because books will enable your child’s imagination to soar.

 

Because, until they learn to read themselves, they will think you are magic.

 

Because, for that short space of time, they will stay clean and quiet.

 

Because, if you do, they may then let you read in peace.

 

Because every teacher and librarian they ever encounter will thank you!



-Your child will participate in a 'Book in a Bag' reading program.  He/she will have the opportunity to bring home books on their reading level. Along with the book will eventually come writing activities. Practicing to read and completing the activities is part of the homework. You will see that the more practice your child gets with reading, the stronger a reader he/she will become.
