Math Homework
Like any skill, math skills need to be practiced. Math homework is geared to practice and also to assess a student's grasp of a newly learned concept. 20-30 minutes of focused practice each night will help your child be successful in math. If the assigned pages are causing a great deal of frustration for your child after a reasonable time trying, make a note on the page, put them away.
*You could use Study Island or Moby Max for homework that night. There are always assignments in Study Island.
Homework Folders
Students have Homework Folders with a weekly assignment sheet.
The work on the right side of the folder is completed and for you to review. It doesn't need to come back to school. If you have questions, you can write them on the work and send it back to me with your child.
In general, homework expectations are listed below and based on a guideline of 10 minutes for each grade level, so 50 minutes per night for fifth graders. If your child says they have no homework, remind them that they must do their reading and have them use those
Reading Homework

Helping your child to succeed.
Many parents ask, "What can I do at home to help my child succeed in school?" Here are some easy and fun things you can do. Play "Mind Reader": Get a deck of cards. You need three people. Two people take a card face down off the deck without looking at it and place it on their forehead so the other two can see it. The third person, who can see both numbers, says the product of the two numbers multiplied together. The first person to say the number of the card on their forehead wins the cards. All face cards are 10, Aces are 1. So if you had 8 on your forehead and your partner had 7 on their forehead the caller would say 56. Each player has to figure out their number knowing their partner's number and the product. This supports practice of both multiplication and division facts. To play with just two people, one person puts the card on their forehead, the other person flips a card over so both can see and says the product so the other person can figure out what card they have. They take turns.
Games with dice: Two people each take two dice. Roll the dice at the same time. First add your two dice together and then add your opponents two dice together, multiply the two numbers for the answer. The first person to say the answer, gets the point. You can also play an easier version where each person rolls one dice and the first person to say the product wins the point.
Let your child read to you or read to your child. As you read, comment on unusual words the author uses and even stop and look up or explain words they aren't familiar with. Talk about how the illustrations support the meaning of the story. Talk about things that the story reminds you of, times you have shared with your child that you are reminded of, or anything else the story might remind you of. Ask questions about what might happen next, or why you think a character acted the way they did. Take turns reading their independent book choice out loud to each other and talk about the story when you are through. These things will support their reading comprehension, fluency, and vocabulary development.
