Please work with your child at home reviewing the weekly spelling words, they each have a spelling activity page and at-home reading comprehension questions in their green folders.. They do not need to turn in any work done at home, their spelling test will reflect the effort put in!
HOMEWORK
Please make sure your student is reading for at least 20 minutes a night. There are first grade appropriate comprehension questions in their folders that support higher-level thinking if your child needs a challenge!. Thank you for all of your help!!
