HOMEWORK PROGRAMME
Our homework
programme will begin this week and run through to the end of the year. Your
child will be given a homework folder and the work inside will coincide with a
sound being studied in class. Each week, students will have some reading
and writing exercises to do at home. The homework will always be read
through, described, and discussed before going home. The following week,
students will have opportunities to ask questions if they are unclear or
stuck. Work will always be discussed before going home: the
material will never be new.
Homework
folders are sent home every Friday. They are due back the following
Thursday.
A reminder
that homework is part of our assessment for report cards, and I will be
tracking work that is incomplete or late.
BOOK BAGS
This week we
will also start our book bags. Every week, students will be assigned a
book and may choose a second book from our class and/or school library. My
expectation is that every child practise reading each book every day at
home. I encourage you to sit with your child while s/he reads, and ask
questions (What was this book about? What did it remind you of? Or,
predict what it will be about?). Your involvement in the reading programme will be very important in supporting, motivating and encouraging your child to
read daily.
Each book bag
will have a tracking sheet where students will write book titles and the date that
they are due back. I ask that you sign the tracking sheet every week, as
confirmation that you have read with your child. A big thank you for your
anticipated support and involvement, in our reading programme.
Book bags go
home every Friday. They are due back the following Thursday.
