HOMEWORK! HOMEWORK! HOMEWORK!. 

Regular homework will be sent home in your child's homework folder on Mondays.  Please make sure you check over your child's homework- it should be completed neatly and carefully.  All pictures should be drawn in pencil first and colored in crayon.  Everything should be completed neatly in pencil.   Please look at the back of your child's homework folder for some important reminders and homework suggestions. 

Along with homework, your child will also bring home a Poetry Journal with a weekly poem glued inside. Please make sure your child reads the poem several times throughout the week.  Please be sure to sign your child's Poetry Journal- this will let me know that your child read the poem to you and/ or other family members. 

Homework is about reinforcement and responsiblity.   The homework is reinforcing concepts that we are working on in class.  The children are learning responsiblity by returning it on time and doing their best.   

We also have monthly projects that will be sent home in place of the regular homework.  These projects come home in a large Ziploc baggie.  Please make sure your child returns his/her project in the project bag.  These projects should be worked on over the whole week- not completed all in one day.  Being responsible means working on something and doing your best- not rushing through a project in one day.  Also- parents should not be writing for children!! This is your child's work not yours! =)
