Barley Sheaf School

Homework, in general, is meant to reinforce concepts being taught in class and consists of:

• Reading:  Your child should read for at least 20 minutes daily  Sometimes he or she will come home with assigned books.  If not, they may read whatever they would like.  They can read independently or with someone else  The goal is to READ and have fun!  Books, magazines, recipes ... there are so many possibilities.  Whatever it looks like for your child, works!  If your child needs books from our classroom library, I am more than happy to lend them out.  

• Fundations:   A packet will come home on Monday.  Your child will need assistance as an adult needs to dictate the words and sentence as noted in the directions. The completed homework should be returned on Friday.

• Math:  Some days a worksheet will come home.  Of course, engaging your child in math daily as it happens in and around your home is highly encouraged.  Investigating time, dates, patterns and measurements are just a few examples.  Math is all around us!  Explore it with your child everyday! 

• Math at Home

Assist your child with homework as you see fit.  If they are struggling, please jot me a note or send an email so that I can address the issue at school.  In addition, should you have any questions about homework, feel free to reach out to me.
