  2. Homework Requirements • Develop responsibility • Meet deadlines • Be prepared • Develop routine • Foster independence

  3. Math Homework Reinforces mental math and place value knowledge Spelling Homework Assist students in understanding syllable patterns Reading Homework Assist students with fluency and comprehension practice

  4. Math Homework reinforces basic concepts IT DOES NOT reflect the complexity of work being done in the classroom.

  5. Math work completed in class is developmentally appropriate. • Use of concrete material supports the understanding of complex mathematical operations. • Challenging our math students comes from within the strong Montessori approach to mathematics.

  6. Parent Support • IXL is a great fun extension to help students understand the different processes of math. • We encourage: • Board games • Flash cards • Oral recall • Fun adding games while shopping

  7. Spelling • Students will NOT simply be memorizing lists of words, but internalizing patterns that they can apply over and over again as they make choices for how to spell words. • Working with Words is MULTI-SENSORY, encouraging the use of all three modalities: • Visual (seeing) • Auditory (hearing) • Kinesthetic (doing)

  8. Parent Support • Engage in conversations about the connections between patterns of letters and sounds (phonemic awareness) by focusing on syllable types. • Read over the rule for the week. • Encourage only the best presentation of work. • Use the language of the spelling pattern with your emergent/proficient reader.

  9. Reading • Reading with children helps with success for early literacy. Putting a few simple strategies into action will make a significant difference in helping children develop into good readers and writers. • Through reading aloud, providing print materials, and promoting positive attitudes about reading and writing, you can have a powerful impact on children's literacy and learning.

  10. Parent Support • Read with your child every day. • Have them point word by word as they read. • Read a child's favourite book over and over again. • Read many stories with rhyming words and lines that repeat. • Discuss new words which helps build vocabulary. • Stop and ask about the pictures and about what is happening in the story. • Read from a variety of children's books, including fairy tales, song books, poems and information books. • Reading well is at the heart of all learning.
