Homework Ideas 

*HOMEWORK IS OPTIONAL!* 

This page was created for parents that were seeking more options on top of nightly reading and practicing math facts. 

Print off the weekly checklist IF that is an option your family prefers.  If you wish, send in the cover sheet and/or any work you've done together and I will recognize the child's work and give them a sticker.

*Homework cover sheet

*Another alternative- check off the monthly classroom calendar when I send them home, and return it
