The very first official math homework comes home today! Bridges calls math homework “Home Connection” and the activities come home approximately once a week, sometimes with less frequency. The Home Connections are usually in a game format. They are meant to be played each day over several days. Sometimes there’s a page that comes back to school but the game always stays at home. I suggest that you find a special place to keep the games to revisit in the future. You could save a shoe box and have your child decorate it to keep the games in one place.
In addition to the “official” homework, you may also find games coming home to provide additional practice on specific skills. Last week I sent a game home with several children to provide extra practice with ten-frames. It was a Bingo game that your child had played several times with me in class. Your child was asked to teach you the game! This type of homework is very motivating for young children and helps teach and reinforce necessary skills. Please try to find time each evening to play a game or two!
Enjoy!
