Aside from Wednesdays (when we have religious ed) and every other Tuesday (when we have standing playdates with the Papkes), we like to spend the weekday evenings hanging out at home together. Those few hours between work/school and bedtime go by SO quickly!
1st grade brings regular homework to the Hanson house. Here's Carter working hard on his nightly assignment at his drop-down desk in his bedroom. Typically, the work is designed to be completed independently but with someone being there to check in. So, we like to have one of us there to supervise (and keep on track)! Mrs. D recommended that Carter not complete the regular Math Home Link activity (that is part of the math curriculum) each evening because he's ready for more of a challenge. So, he completes 2 math problems from a higher order thinking math packet each evening! Besides the daily math, he has Making Words homework on Mondays (where they take specific letter tiles and manipulate them to create as many different words as they can and then sort the words in a variety of ways), a daily problem solving packet with a math problem for each day of the week, Wednesday Work (reading comprehension and making connections to text assignments), and Friday Book Briefcase (rereading the books he read throughout the week during his book club time in class), and 10 minutes of independent reading per day. Phew...talk about college prep! So far, he's loving every minute of it, though!
Homework time for Amelia too...practicing letters, numbers and shapes on Daddy's iPhone.
"I'm a good reader too!"
