Homework

     Weekly homework has started and I love that everyone is turning it in 
on time!  Way to go first graders!!!  Always remember to write and color 
neatly when completeing each assingment.
          
     Also continue to practice reading sight words.  Each day we are adding 
a word to our word wall.  Be sure to ask your child daily what word is added 
and to practice reading these words when possible.

    In addition, please read with your child each night and discuss the 
story as it is being read.  Ask questions about the content and encourage 
your child to decode unknown words.  This will help build on language skills 
as well as reading skills.

    Also be sure to practice D'Nealian handwriting and letter formation.  
Have fun when working with your litle one and be sure to stop 
when your child is still having fun!
