Homework
- Homework Requirement Change
Dear Parents / Guardians:
Beginning in January, all second grades will be changing the homework. There will no longer be a handwriting page. Instead, we are requiring the “Word Sort” activity for spelling practice.
Please note that the word sort instructions include “add additional words to the list.” For example, if the sound spelling skill for the week is “long O” and “_oa_” is one of the sound spellings, and the words on the list are soap, oats, and coat; have your child think of, or look up additional words to add to the “_oa_” column.
All boxes on the word sort must be filled out or it will be considered incomplete and returned.
The only assignments that need to be turned in are the “Weekly Homework Log” and the “Spelling Word Sort”. If you have any questions, please contact your teacher.
Sincerely,
The Second Grade Team
Homework folders go home on Fridays, except when a long holiday follows the last day of the school week. Please look over new homework and corrected or unfinished work with your child. - Homework folders are due the following Friday, first thing in the morning. Spelling tests are given each week there is homework. Students should study the words daily to be ready for the Friday test.
- Assignments should be completed in regular pencil with careful handwriting.
- Reading Record should be filled out four days of the week, minimum 20 minutes a day. Titles should be written carefully.
