Tips for a Successful Year in First Grade
  1. Each child will receive a home folder at the beginning of the year. This folder contains homework and information for parents and students. It should go back and forth to school every day.
  2. Please check this folder every night with your child.
  3. Homework will be given. It will consist of a literacy activity, math worksheet and/or spelling practice.
  4. Find a quiet time and place for your child to complete his/her homework. Homework should typically take 15 to 20 minutes.
  5. Remember to sit with your child when he/she is completing their homework. If you have any homework questions please feel free to email or call your child’s teacher.
  6. Please have your child practice his/her math facts daily for 5 to 10 minutes each night.
