Homework is assigned five times per week.
I check to make sure homework has
been turned in daily. This includes their reading log. It is critical that you check their binder for any communications, events, or other important information.
Parents are encouraged to discuss
homework assignments with their children as this will foster a deeper
understanding of the material. However, a student’s mistakes alert me
that your child may need further instruction in that area.
Time spent on homework will vary according to the student. I expect that students in 1st grade will spend approximately 20-30 minutes on homework. This includes reviewing the notes from the day and
studying for upcoming tests. In addition to this time, students should
read for 20 minutes .
There will also be monthly projects and other long-range assignments.
If a student does not have his or
her homework in class on the due date, a blank or "I" mark is placed on the homework calendar.I understand there are emergencies and other situations that arise, but these should be rare occurrences, not on a daily basis.
Students are also required to RE-do any homework with excessive mistakes after clarification from the teacher. Some students may need to stay after school for further reteaching and tutoring. I will send home notices for those that need to stay.
Parents often ask how they can help their child(ren) with their homework. Here are some tips:
- Have a weekly meeting with your child (preferably Sunday or Monday). Use a family calendar to set a schedule for the week. Include upcoming tests/quizzes/projects, and events such as practices and appointments.
- Set a timer for your child; have him/her estimate how long each assignment will take and set the timer for that amount of time. Timing each assignment helps to keep the child on task.
- Review your child's binder EVERY day.
- If homework is taking more than 1/2 hours per night, it could be because he/she's not finishing work in school, finds the concepts too difficult, has difficulty concentrating, or is disorganized. Try to figure out what exactly is the problem.
- The primary role of a 1st grade parent is to: make sure the child understands the directions, be available if he/she needs help, check the work, and encourage him/her as he/she works.
Se les asignan tarea cinco veces por semana.
Yo reviso
que la tarea se ha completado diariamente. Es fundamental que lean el binder para ver las comunicaciónes, eventos u otra información importante.
Les
pido a los padres que hablen sobre las tareas con sus
hijos como esto favorecerá una comprensión más profunda del material. Sin embargo, los errores de los alumnos me avisan que su niño puede necesitar más instrucción en esa zona. Esto no significa que toda la pagina(s) este mal hechas.
Tiempo dedicado a tareas varea según el alumno. Espero que los estudiantes de primer grado tomen aproximadamente una 1/2 hora por noche en la tareas. Esto incluye revisar las notas del el día y estudiar para las próximas pruebas. Además de este tiempo, los estudiantes deben leer 20 minutos diariamente.
Tambien habra proyectos mensuales.
Si
un estudiante no tiene la tarea en clase sobre la fecha de
vencimiento, se le dejara en blanco o una "I" de incompleto se le pondra el el calendario de tarea.
Los
estudiantes tendran que volver hacer las tareas con
excesivos errores después de aclaración. Algunos estudiantes deberan quedarse después de la escuela para recibir tuteria.
Los padres a menudo preguntan cómo pueden ayudar a sus hijos con sus tareas. Aquí hay algunos consejos:
- Tengan una reunión semanal con su hijo (preferiblemente el domingo o el lunes). Utilice un calendario familiar para establecer un calendario para la semana. Incluyen pruebas próximas, concursos, proyectos y eventos tales como prácticas y citas.
- Establecer un temporizador para su hijo; estimen cuánto tiempo tomará y establecan el temporizador para esa cantidad de tiempo para cada tarea. El temporizador ayuda a mantener al niño enfocado en la tarea.
- Revisen cada día el binder del estudiante.
- Si la tarea está tomando más de 1/2 horas por noche, podría ser porque él/ella no es terminar el trabajo en la escuela, considera los conceptos demasiado difícil, tiene dificultad para concentrarse o es desorganizado. Trate de averiguar exactamente cuál es el problema.
- La función primordial de los padres de un estudiante de quinto grado es: asegúrase de que el niño entiende las instrucciones, estar disponibles si necesita ayuda, comprobar el trabajo y apoyarlos y motivarlos a seguir adelante.

At the beginning of the year, students should
use their class supply list. Throughout the
year, students need to use a “Supply Update List” to record supplies
needed during the year. (I will provide this form.) An example of how to
use this form is below:
 |
Supply Update List
|
|
| TODAY’S DATE |
SUPPLY TYPE
|
DATE NEEDED |
| 8/14/12 |
Pencil bag
|
8/16/12 |
| 9/2/12 |
2 black pens
|
9/4/12 |
| 10/8/12 |
Glue stick
|
10/10/12 |
Cross off each item as you get it. Keep a
current copy of this form in a page protector sheet in the front of your
binder. When a teacher mentions a supply you need, or if you find you
are running low on something, WRITE IT DOWN!
Other tips about supplies:
1. Keep a copy of your Supplies Update List in the front of your binder (in a page protector sheet).
2. Keep a folder full of loose-leaf paper in your binder. Label the folder “Paper Supply.”
3. Keep an extra box of pencils and an extra box of pens in your desk. You can never have too many pens and pencils.
4. Replace old folders, book bags, and pencil cases before they fall apart, causing you to lose supplies and assignments.
5. Buy good quality materials that will last.
Labeling your papers and projects can
really help you to get organized. It is one of the best habits you can
get into with your work. Make sure they write their first and last name on their homework.

Other labeling tips:
*Label the things you take to school, such as your lunch, book bag, calculator, sweaters, etc.
*When there is more than one page to your assignment, staple the papers together.
*Grading the papers that are without a title and
name can be very frustrating. Many teachers will not grade papers that
lack complete labels.
*Getting into the habit of putting a complete label on all of your work and your belongings will save you much time and trouble.
The Three-Ring Binder & At-Home Filing System
Binders can be very helpful because they make it
possible to keep all your notes for all your classes in one place. To
organize your papers within the binder, use dividers with pockets and
create a different section for each class. Color-coding the tabs for
the dividers will help you locate them quickly.
Here are some guidelines for getting your binder set up:
1. You will need a sturdy 1-inch binder.
2. Label the outside of your binder with your name and other important information, such as your school name, grade level, and homeroom teacher’s name.
3. Have a separate folder within the binder for loose-leaf paper.
4. Have a supply of hole reinforcements.
5. Have a separate folder within the binder for use as a “Home/School Communication Folder.”
In the left pocket of the Home/School Communication Folder are papers
that need to be turned in (i.e. signed papers or completed homework).
The right pocket is for home/school communication (i.e. papers that need
to be signed, notices, and homework sheets). Anything in the
Home/School Communication Folder should be left in there no longer than one night. After that, everything should be filed in your "At-Home Filing System" and/or turned in to your teacher.
