Home Learning Expectations

This is just a copy of the expectations that are glued in the front of your child's home learning book...

	Room 9 ‘The Beehive’ Home Learning Expectations

Reading

It is vital for all children to be reading for at least 15 minutes a night to keep up their fluency and for pure reading mileage. We need them to get as many ‘words in front of their eyes’ as possible. Most children will bring home reading from school in the form of a journal or PM book. If they forget then you can find the link to Sunshine Reading Online on our blog site. The user name is: Marty and the password is: learning

Maths

Basic Facts are the foundation of all maths and these should be practised each night. All students at Stage 4 have been supplied with an ‘ideas to help your child at home’ packet which suggests fun ways of helping your child build a strong foundation from which to build his/her mathematical knowledge. Please have a look at this. Some resources need to be made up – cereal boxes are ideal for making up the cards etc.

Spelling

We have glued in the essential spelling lists into our home learning books. There are links to activities in order to practise and learn these words on our blog – www.2015beehive.blogspot.co.nz

Spelling words will begin to come home – mostly selected from your child’s writing as they try to use bigger and better words throughout the year. If you require extra spelling, then the essential lists are a perfect place to start!

Home Learning books will be taken home on Mondays and are expected back 

on Fridays.
