2nd Grade Homework

Grade Two Homework

In grade two the expectation is to spend 20 minutes four nights a week on homework, which is the district policy.  During first term, which comes to end in late November, students will not receive a weekly homework assignment sheet.  Instead, first term will focus on building the habit of doing homework each night. Please work with your child to choose a place and time to complete their homework. The children will be asked to read each evening. This can be a great time to all gather together and enjoy a fabulous picture book. Time will be spent building fact fluency with addition and subtraction facts to 20. In addition, each student will be provided with a list of grade one and two trick words as part of our fundations program. Please spend a few minutes practicing 5 words from the list. Two online programs will be set up to reinforce math and literacy skills throughout the year. First term students will have access to IXL usernames and passwords which will remain the same as in first grade.  By second term Raz-Kids will be set up for student’s access.
