Here are a few frequently asked questions:
Will the students have homework?
Yes, each student will have reading homework. This homework requires students to read 20 minutes (or more, if they want!) a night. With the reading, students will be required to answer 2 questions based off of his/her reading per week. These questions will be on the student's reading level and are formatted to sound like questions on benchmark tests.
Will there be spelling words/tests?
Yes! Each week we will have a new set of words that follow a similar pattern. It is up to the parents to decide if the student works on these words each week. I will post the words weekly in the "Announcements" section of my website. There will be spelling tests each week. After 3 'units' of words there will be a test with the previous 3 weeks words in it. This is to check that the students are retaining the words and their spellings.
Can a parent volunteer?
Of course! Any time you want to come in and volunteer just send me a quick email with a few times that work for you. If you have a preference of tasks (working with kids vs. copying) then let me know that too!
