Homework

CALENDARS:
 * Each month a Calendar will be sent home. Families should work to complete at least three activities from the calendar every week.
 * Calendars should be returned to school on the last school day of every month.

HOMEWORK BAGS:
 * the plastic homework bags come home on a Monday.
 * complete the work in the bag
 * return the bag and the completed work by Thursday morning.
 * stickers on the bags show how many times a child successfully returned their completed homework bag on time!

READING:
 * First graders are expected to read for 15-20 minutes every day
 * We can read: books from our reading teachers, books in our homework bags, library books, books from home, magazines, newspapers, comics, our OWN stories we write... it's okay to be creative and have fun with reading!


 * IXL: **A suggested IXL practice will come home on Fridays. Feel free to let your child explore the different categories in IXL to enhance their computer skills while exploring Math concepts (even if they do not match what is sent home weekly). There is nothing that needs to be handed in with IXL.
