Homework

Homework will come home every Friday in their PENGUIN folders unless stated otherwise. Homework at second grade usually consists of 5 items to be completed and is worth 5 points in the gradebook. Be sure to complete the following:

1. math page

2. 100 + recorded reading minutes (number of minutes each day in box, totaled to at least 100 for the week) Practicing their vocabulary words, high frequency words, new and old Take Home Books and their library books are all great ways to get weekly reading minutes.  

3. high frequency word list (on the inside cover of the Take Home Book) practiced by student each day and signed off by parent

4. vocabulary word list (on the inside cover of the Take Home Book) practiced with the parent so your child understands the meaning of the words.

5. parent initials that the student has practiced that week's 'Take Home Book' each day until the your child can read the story fast and fluently. **Note the Take Home Books stay at home. Please keep them in a box and have your child re-read them to improve their reading fluency. 

***Writing- extra credit will go to those children who complete the writing questions on the Comprehension Study Guide which is on the last page of the' Take Home Book'. They will also get to share their writing during our Friday Show and Tell time. This would be a great activity for those students wanting some challenge homework.

 

Remember the homework packet needs to be returned on THURSDAY with their folder.   :)
