Homework
The first homework packet will be sent home on September 13th and due that Friday, September 17th. Homework will review content students learned the previous week. Weekly homework packets are sent home every Monday and are due Friday. The homework packet will be placed in your child’s red folder. Please help your child with homework each night and space it out throughout the week so that your child isn’t overwhelmed. The purpose of homework is to practice skills learned and build responsibility.
Sight Word Stars
If you have not already, please start working on sight words with your child. Our first Sight Word Stars assessment will be Thursday, September 9th. Students will be assessed again on Thursday, September 23rd. The expectation is that each student passes one list a month. If your child passes at least one list a month, they will earn a reward at the end of the month.
Character Trait
At Plato Academy we believe in developing the whole child which is why we focus on a character trait each month. Our character trait is Respect for August. Please feel free to email and let me know when you catch your child showing respect outside of school!
Respect is treating yourself and others with courtesy and consideration. I will give out tally marks to each child when I see the character trait displayed in the classroom. The student with the most tally marks will be chosen for our character trait of the month and be invited to a special pizza lunch with Ms. West.
