First Grade Curriculum

**Please see bottom of this page for downloads!

HOMEWORK:

Homework packets will be sent home weekly in the Friday Folders. The homework will be due the following Thursday. Parents and students are free to manage each assignment according to their own family schedule. Each packet contains enough activities to be spread out over the course of a week. It is in your child's best interest that the homework packet is worked on throughout the week rather than being done in one or two days. Many activities require some parental involvement such as reading directions, stories or recording information.

 

Typically, each homework packet will contain:

  1. Spelling List: Weekly spelling list with activities for word practice.
  2. Phonics: Phonics practice
  3. Sight Words
  4. Reading Log: Please make sure your child reads daily for a minimum of 15 minutes Students should practice reading nightly as part their weekly homework. Students may read to an adult, the adults may read to the students, or the students may read on their own. However, when the only option exercised is the adult reading to the student, the student is unable to practice his/her reading skills. Weekend reading is encouraged, but not required.
  5. Math: Math practice to reinforce math skills learned in class.
  6. Writing/Handwriting

 

Corrected Work:

Every Friday, corrected work is sent home in the Friday Folders.
