Brinckerhoff Elementary School

Homework is usually sent home each night with the exception of Fridays.

*Your child has a Homework Planner sheet to record his/her assignments each night.

*Please keep the planner sheet in the Going Home Folder until Friday and sign each night.

*Each week there is a Reading Log for your child to complete. It goes home on Friday and can be handed in by the end of the week. Reading practice at home is crucial for your child's development and success. Your child can use books from home, books from the school library, Raz-kids, or even borrow books from the classroom.

*Each quarter, there is a Book Report for your child to complete on a specific theme/topic. It is due at the end of the quarter. Once again, if you need a specific type of book, please feel free to borrow mine, check the school library, or check on Raz-kids - if you can't visit your local library.

Extra Reinforcement Ideas.....

*It is extremely helpful to make flashcards for the unit Word Wall Words and/or Snap Words we are working on in Phonics. and mix them up when practicing. If your child can read and spell them, have them explain them to you and use them in sentences.

*Reviewing current math strategies and practicing math facts to 20 and beyond is always helpful in building fact fluency.

*If you are unable to complete an assignment by the due date, just let me know through email or in writing, so I can expect it on a later day. I understand that nights are busy and it's difficult at times to commit to certain assignments.    

Please remember that I am here to help you...just let me know when something comes up.
