Homework packets are distributed at the beginning of the week. They are due the following Monday. I will check them with the students and give stickers for completed homework. (This will begin mid-year)
Please work with your child to complete a page daily. This is a great way to review what we do in class and practice for next year.
Read to students every day
Extra Practice: Students may use educational websites such as Waterford.
Attendance Form
An important document will be sent home in your child's folder at the end of every month. This paper is to be filled out in blue ink. It is a paper sent to confirm your child's attendance in class. I will attach the attendance report on the back. Please make sure all is correct and sign/ return.

Waterford is a computer program we will be using in our class 15 minutes a day. This program will help build key academic skills.
This year you will find this in your child's student portal under apps.
The children are to be on this program 15 minutes twice daily (it is timed) (once during school hours and once at home)
Keep in mind that when using this at home, please do not help them, this program adapts to each child's skill level automatically. I also base my individualized instruction on this program. Helping your child will only make the next lessons more difficult than their skill level.
