Dear Second Grade Families,
Today is the first official day of homework! It was great to
see so many of our students already adding www.raz-kids.com
to their daily routines last week. Mathletics is coming soon. I will keep
you posted as soon as I know more. Today your student received their
first homework packet. Packets are always due on FRIDAY. The
students should complete one page each night according to the schedule on the
cover page. Please remind your student to write their name on the line
that says, " I, __________, completed my homework the best I know
how." AFTER all pages are complete. Please sign the bottom as well,
AFTER all work is complete.
The students were asked today to ALWAYS keep this packet in
their Take Home Folder so it comes back to school with them every day.
Students are welcome to turn homework in early on Thursday, but not before. All
of the work in the packets will be about things the students have already
learned in class. Homework is used as a tool for responsibility and
recall of learning that has already occurred. The only not-written work
is the poetry. Please work with your child to memorize this poem.
In addition to the homework packets, the students received
their first HRL (Home Reading Log). This should stay in their Take Home
Folder at all times as well. The students will answer the question on the
back of the page after reading for 20+ minutes (at www.raz-kids.com or a "real"
book). They should copy the sentence prompt that is written for them onto
the front of the page. (i.e. Today they will write, "Some interesting
details are________.") We will be learning more about this in class each
day. Please sign your initials AFTER your student has completed their reading
and writing about their book.
Thank you for your support with this homework and continued
guidance towards independence and responsibility.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Wall
