HOMEWORK
Reading/Math Logs Total of 30 minutes a night Reading at Home:
It is helpful for children to see people important to them reading in order for them to see reading as important! Let your kids see you reading – anything counts… even magazines, cookbooks or newspapers Develop family reading time where everyone reads Read a chapter book together Ask questions and discuss books while reading. Have a “home library” with just right books that your students are interested in – Doesn't have to be physical books - some great access to books online as well (Can order through Scholastic Book Orders)
