The first piece of homework this year will be 30-40 minutes of reading every night. Once reading is complete students will need to log on to SEESAW and record and draw about their reading. This will be an interactive version of a reading log. This will also be taught and modeled for students by me.
The second piece of homework is up to students and families. I feel that it is important to put some responsibility on the students to determine what they need to succeed and to know their goals. Students will fill out a planner each day with what else they will do for homework in addition to their reading and it will need to be initialed by a parent or guardian. With that said, there is flexibility and creativity that can go into this. I will send home an example sheet for parents as well as discuss this topic at back to school night.
A weekly homework planner sheet will go home on a Monday and then need to be returned the following Monday.
