A homework packet will be sent home each Monday to be returned each Friday. Weekly homework will consist of the following:
-spelling sentences: students will write a sentence no shorter than 7 words in length for each spelling word.
-a math worksheet or two
-a writing assignment
-study for the spelling test on Friday

Also, your child will bring home a
reading log each week. I don't want this to be a headache for you. I don't expect you to write down each and every book title, just one per evening. In second grade, your child should be reading for at least 15 minutes each evening, either independently or to an adult.

A few notes... Please help your child to brainstorm some writing ideas prior to doing the writing assignment. When they have finished, help them to proofread their work. I suggest writing misspelled words correctly above your child's writing. Please don't turn in "perfect work". I need to see the students' errors in order to meet their different needs. Also, please go over your child's math worksheet to check for understanding. Lastly, students who fail to turn in their homework will sit on the bench for the first recess on Friday.
