The students typically will have one home work page/activity along with one
nightly book to read. Please make sure you log your child's book in the
reading log. We have a goal as a class to read 2010 this year!
I do ask that a parent or adult do the homework activities with the students
to ensure they are grasping the concepts being taught. I understand that a
lot of the students have gained the independence of doing homework
themselves, and that is FABULOUS! But, the extra reassurance from an adult
will on sink in even more!
I value your family time, as I do mine. It is the quality of the activities
that will impact your child and his/her reading abilities.
In addition to your homework packets,please practice the following with your
child as often as possible.
* Tying Shoes
* Counting as high as he/she can count, then prompt to the next number and
see how far they can go!
* Phone Number (a great way of learning your phone number is putting it to
the tune of a favorite song)
* Address
* Right and Left
* Printing their names with the correct upper/lower case letters
* Handwriting/Initial Sound worksheets
* Read for at least 15 minutes with your child NIGHTLY!
