We have completed homework for first grade. Your child's teacher will have 1-3 review tests for sight words, so it is encouraged that you continue to review for proficiency. As we end the school year and prepare for summer, please know that in order to be a great reader your child must READ. Kids will be extra successful in second grade if they read with their parent 10-20 minutes each night.
