Homework Policy What is Star

Homework?• Star homework allows you and

your child to choose how much homework they will do nightly.

• Your child can choose to do one star or up to four stars!

• Our class will be attempting to earn enough stars for a reward on Friday so it is important your child does nightly homework that helps our class accomplish their goal.

Math Practice Page or Super Speed Math

Your student will be bringing home practice sheets from our Math

Expressions Student Practice book. These practice sheets are review of

what we learned in class.Some nights there might not be a

practice sheet so doing Super Speed Math is the perfect substitute. Your child can show you how to play this

great game!

Read for _____ MinutesStudents must read over 15 minutes

to earn a star. If they read longer they will fill in the blank for however

much time they have read.

Letter to TeacherStudents can write a letter to me about ANYTHING they wish. It must be over

half a page and written in neat handwriting to earn a star.

Word Work About Our Word Work

Your child will be bringing home a collection of spelling words weekly that have been introduced in class.

Each night of the week your child is expected to do a different activity to ensure that the words and the spelling principles they represent are mastered. This will earn them a star for star homework.

These activities have been modeled and practiced in school, so your child can teach you how to do them. However, there are explanations to help you as well.

It is important that the students do have your help in order for them to complete some of the word work activities correctly. Please help them if needed.

Thank you for your support. Together we can make valuable progress!
