Homework
Sight Words will be the only homework sent home. All other work will be completed in class. Sight words will be assigned 10 at a time. They will be assessed each Friday. Sight Words will be sent home in Friday folders the week prior to being assessed. All class work (completed or not) will be sent home in Friday Folders.
**Friday Folders should be returned by the end of the week**

Spelling
Although there will not be assigned spelling words every week, there will be practice words sent home weekly. These words will include the focus skill (letter sounds) for the week.
Daily Reading
Try incorporating reading into your daily schedules. I know your family's schedule can get jam packed, so I don't assign weekly reading logs to track reading minutes. However, I will occasionally send home book bags with incentives for students to read an assigned book.
Friday Folders
All classwork will be sent home in Friday folders, done or not. The goal will be that all work will be completed throughout the week, but if it is not, it will still be sent home. All work that I assign will be stamped with a star before being sent home. The star stamp doesn't indicate a grade, just that I checked over the work for accuracy and completion. This work is mostly practice and used as an informal check of skills. If you notice an incorrect answer or incomplete work on a Star stamped paper, please take the opportunity to go over this with your student. I will do this sometimes during class, but not always.
