Homework

Eager and attentive G2 students

Dear parents,

Your child will be in Grade 3 very soon. We have been preparing all year for the next grade, and there are still many skills and practices to master, including home activities. Homework needs to be completed and returned to the Finished Work basket on time. If the student does not finish the homework, please bring it to school anyway. I can check the progress and give the book or assignment back to the student to finish.

Students need to study the spelling words at home in order to be more confident and learn the spelling of common English words. We will need your help in regulating homework times and environments that give your child a chance to his or her very best with no frustration or stress.

Take time each day to read the blog with your child.

Remember, homework should take 20 minutes each day. Some students, especially a lot of eager learners from this class, will do more. However, please regard and observe the homework time. It will help create a peaceful environment where homework is not a stressful activity and also where the students feels accomplishment for having worked throughout the entire homework time, whether the work has been completed or not.

You may write notes in the Communication Book when you wish to correspond with the school's staff.

Today, Grade 2 had a spelling pre-test. We will begin having the spelling pre-tests again. Students must copy the misspelled words 3x each after the pre-test is taken. The spelling post-tests will be graded differently in order to prepare for Grade 3. Instead of just the words being checked, proper sentence structure will also be part of the mark each student receives. Therefore, the practice the students get when they write in the journal each day will help them to remember how to write properly-formed sentences on spelling tests and other assignments.

Although sentences are just now being checked in the spelling tests, checking proper sentence structure has been a practice throughout this school year for the class.

Thank you for reading the blog each day, and thank you for your cooperation.

Shalom

Ms. Luckett
