Grade One Homework Policy

Grade One Homework Policy

The district’s homework policy recommends an average of  10 minutes of meaningful and

purposeful homework per day for a typical first grader (when assigned).  There may be

times when teachers send home assignments specific to classroom learning goals and/or

projects.  On days when no homework is assigned, families might consider choosing one

of the following suggested homework activities for all students. Please connect with your

child’s classroom teacher if you need further clarification or guidance regarding homework.

Suggested Homework Ideas

Reading/Writing:  

• Utilize Raz-Kids

• Read and spell first grade trick words
• Engage in everyday writing (i.e. lists, thank you notes, cards)

Math:
