1st grade is an exciting time. Students are growing in independence and interdependence. With 2st Century learning, students are asked to Collaborate, Communicate, Create, and become Critical thinkers. In many subject areas students are expected to "PROVE" their thinking by giving relevant evidence to support their reasoning through text the text read. This will become more natural process as students are exposed to expectations and teacher modeling of these expectations.

MathDoes your child practice addition and subtraction facts at home? We hope so. This should be a part of your child's daily learning routine along with nightly reading. One area that students often struggle is with Word Problems. Your child is learning a variety of strategies to help solve mathematical problems. Encourage your child to choose a strategy that works best for him or her.
Homework
Homework is practice of skills and strategies that have been taught during the week. Therefore, it is important that your child establish good homework habits early by doing the assigned night's homework every night. Homework includes nightly reading as well. Please be sure your child has an established location for homework and that you encourage healthy work habits at home.
Homework packets are distributed on the first day of the school week (Monday's unless school is out) and should be returned on Friday's. Homework is NOT graded but serves as a way to solidify curriculum concepts taught previously. |
