Homework in 1st Grade
In first grade, we keep the homework simple, so that the student is able to compete it on their own. It addition to what we send home, it is a good idea to have the students read a book aloud to someone, practice sight words, review facts, and work on handwriting.
Math
We will be using the Math in Focus Math program. Please be aware that we will be sending home math newsletters from the program that will inform what we are learning in math. It will give you ideas on how to better help your child learn the concepts at home.
Reading
We will be sending home a decodable reader four days out of the week (Monday- Thursday). Please sign the book indicating that your child has read the book at least once to you. We will also be sending home a weekly newsletter from the Journey's Reading program to inform you of what your child's learning that week. It will give you information on things you can do at home that week to better learn the skill we will be working on that week.

Your child needs to be reading 15 minutes a night. Please sign the monthly reading log and return it to school at the end of the month. If you need a new reading log, click on the file on the bottom of this page.
