After much research, I have decided that homework will only consist of any work that your child did not finish during the school day. There will be NO formally assigned homework this year. Lets let kids be kids!
Research has been unable to prove that homework improves student performance. Rather, I ask that you spend your evenings doing things that are proven to correlate with student success:

Eat dinner together as a family
Read together
Play outside
Go to bed early
Ask your child about their day at school:
Was it fun? What did you learn? What did you do in reading? Math? Specials?

I also have some hands on letter practice bags that are available to rent out! Please send in the slip if you would like to rent out and activity bag! These are available by request and are not required of students.
A little later in the school year I will be sending home a R.E.D. folder (Read Every Day) with books for your child to read at their level. Reading is such an important skill and the more students practice the better readers they will become. If you have any questions about these folders, please feel free to reach out!
Thank you for all of your support from home!
