Reading-
Read every night for 30-40 minutes. I consider this to be the most important thing to do each and every night. If you have time for nothing else, read!
The graphic below details a simple research based design to produce stronger readers. Consider this checklist when your child reads at home.

Work Work-
Students will do a different word work activity each night using the words they bring home (see attached). They will keep each set of words for two weeks. Students know what these activities are, because they practice the same activities in class. (students have not started this yet)
Math-
Practice math facts- addition, subtraction, multiplication. These are very important for students to learn, because it will make their math time more efficient. Students can use flash cards or go to the following website:
