Today kids do have homework. I have sent the reading calendar home with kids today. There is still time to get in 5 days of reading this week! There is a letter explaining reading homework. Parents can monitor this as closely as you choose. You may want to assign reading every night, or let your child monitor their reading themselves. The reading calendar party at the end of the month is the reward for reading...that and reading in itself.
Also, since we are learning to write constructive responses, I am asking the children to share the technique and teach it to someone in the family. This way you will know what we are trying to accomplish in school.
Great start to the year so far!
Hi Tracy! Thank you for setting this up for the parents to be able to interact with you and the kids... Awesome =]
ReplyDeleteGood thing I checked it out, was thinking that Nathan was off the hook for a couple days of reading since the calendar didn't come home until yesterday but... there's always the weekend right?!
