Summer Reading Project
All students must read 10 picture books or 3 chapter books this summer and keep a reading log. Reading log must be in the student's handwriting.
Choose to do one of the following:
Attend 2 summer library activities (Stokely Memorial Library, NGS Summer Library Program, or other library programs). Write down the activities and the dates attended.
OR
Choose 3 books and write a paragraph of the book summary and draw a picture.
Give the list of activities and reading log to your second grade teacher. Students who complete the summer reading program will receive two 100's in language arts.
Homework
Students should never spend more than 30 minutes per night on homework.
I don´t require students to physically turn in homework in my class. That does NOT mean there is no homework!
Children in my class are to complete three activities for homework every night.
1. Study spelling words
2. Practice math facts for whichever set of math facts your child is working on that week.
3. Read the story of the week.
Practicing these three things every night will drastically improve your child´s grade.
