HOMEWORK
Newsletters are sent home on Tuesday with the Tuesday folder.
There is no packet or worksheets that students need to turn in to school. It is expected that students read at home daily for at least 20-30 minutes. Additional things you can have your child do at home are to practice reading high frequency words, practice their spelling words, write in a journal, and/or practice their addition/subtraction and multiplication/division math facts. If a student does not complete an assignment in class they are asked to finish it at home and return it by the end of the week.
Behren's Book Reports are voluntary. Students who would like to complete book reports in order to earn Reading Rewards checks ($5.00 per book report) must complete a thorough and legible book report. Reports that are turned in without a parent signature, illegible, or without adequate student effort and completeness will be returned and not be considered for a Reading Rewards Check until it meets the requirements specified. Students can do up to 4 book reports each month and the reward checks earned can be spent at local bookstores and the Scholastic Book Fair held at Taft Elementary in the fall and spring during conference weeks.
