READING Although no formal assignment will be sent home, students are encouraged to read for at least 20 minutes a night for a total of 100 minutes per week.
VOCABULARY Review words as often as possible. Try incorporating our vocabulary words into your daily conversations. Work together to make up a story using as many vocabulary/spelling words you can.
SPELLING A new spelling list is provided to your child every week. Knowing the meaning of the words is just as important as knowing how to spell them. Spelling assignments will come home 1 or 2 nights a week depending on what was completed in class. Spelling tests are on Friday.
SOCIAL STUDIES: Homework will only be sent home if your child was absent or do not complete the assignment at school. Although we read and discuss the material in class, it is a good idea to encourage your child to reread the text at home using Studies Weekly online. The kids have access to this program on their computer through Clever.
We will test on states and capitals throughout the year. Please encourage your child to work on memorizing the states and capitals.
