My goal for homework in my classroom is simple review at this age. I support and encourage parents as partners with me in their child’s education.  It is my responsibility as the teacher to teach the required skills, but I also need the parent’s help to support me in my efforts through help with homework.  We are a team!​
There will be a file folder sent home with your child daily. The homework sheet for that day will be in it. There will be a grade for homework. At this age, homework for them is just a simple review of what they learned that day. It will never be more than one worksheet per night. If homework is not completed and turned in by the end of the week they will miss out on points for that night. There will be a homework sign-off sheet on the left of the folder that will need to be signed daily and sent back to school.The work they did that day will also be in it for you to see their progress. Please don't keep these papers. Below I have listed our assignments for the next three weeks so you can see what they will be learning next. The common core Alabama standard number that goes along with our lesson can  be found on the Alabama Learning Exchange website: http://alex.state.al.us/browseStand.php​
