Homework

For the start of the school year, students will be expected to do the following NIGHTLY...

1. Read for at least 15 minutes and record short summaries of the reading in their "Reader's Response" notebook. 2. Practice skip counting by 2s through 12s in preparation for learning multiplication. A note about multiplication facts: We will focus on building a conceptual understanding of multiplication rather than strictly memorizing facts. Your child will be expected to recall these quickly but this skill will be built in time. Students who stick to their homework schedule regarding multiplication should build this automaticity of fact recall throughout the year. Practice of skip counting is an important developmental step in building this conceptual understanding. Thank you for your support in guiding this! 3. Complete weekly homework packet. 4. Complete any additional homework/projects assigned by your teacher.
