Tips for a Successful Year in First Grade
- 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.
- Please check this folder every night with your child.
- Homework will be given. It will consist of a literacy activity, math worksheet and/or spelling practice.
- Find a quiet time and place for your child to complete his/her homework. Homework should typically take 15 to 20 minutes.
- 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.
- Please have your child practice his/her math facts daily for 5 to 10 minutes each night.
