Agendas
Your child will start using an agenda this year. This is one of our key communication tools! It is how I let you know what is going on within the classroom! Inside, there is a day by day schedule where students can record their homework for each subject AND a space for teacher or parent notes. It will be part of your child's homework to get this agenda signed EVERY single NIGHT. I check for parent signatures in the morning.
Reading & Reading LogYour little panther will be required to read for 30 minutes every night. I will be sending home monthly reading logs that are checked daily and turned in at the end of the month. Reading is such an important skill and I encourage you to read with your little one. Ask questions about what it is they are reading and have them read out loud to you! If you have any questions or would like some pointers on how to read with your little one, contact me and I will happily help you.

Math & SpellingIn addition to the nightly homework of reading, your child will have nightly math homework and weekly spelling tests. The math assignments will come with a Problem Set we have done together in class, and the homework practices the exact same skills. Feel free to use the Problem Set as a guide!
Spelling lists will be posted weekly under the spelling tab and they will also be written in your child's agenda at the beginning of the week. The test is given on Friday. ***If there is any special project or I do not assign the regular nightly reading or math, or weekly spelling, I will post on the blog so you are aware and not surprised when your little one says "I have no homework!" :)
