The most important homework assignment for first graders is to read out loud with someone for 20 minutes each day, at least 5 days a week, or as often as possible. Our goal in first grade is to read at home at least 100 minutes every week. Any reading counts, whether you read to your child, take turns reading with your child, or your child reads by his/herself to you. As the year progresses, your child should transition to doing most or all of the reading but it is still very important that your child is reading out loud to someone.
Math and literacy are an important part of your child's education. Participating in activities in these areas at home each week will help your child to succeed. Therefore, your child's homework each week is to complete two math activities and two literacy (reading and writing) activities outside of school. Some ideas for activities are listed on the website. You can use the buttons below to reach them. However, your child can also do other activities that are not listed. It is your choice when your child does them. Choose activities according to your child's needs and the amount of time you have.
No papers or activities need to be returned to school – simply initial the homework logs in your student's homework folder to show that your child completed two activities for each area. Occasionally, a worksheet or game may be sent home to be completed as homework. You may count that as an activity, but please don’t worry about returning it to school.
