We will talk about our names, what they start with, and work on our "All About Me" unit.
We have started our ABC books and our alphabet homework. Please sit with your child while they are doing homework. Make sure they are writing the letters correctly including, starting at the top (ask them to sing you the song) using the lines, and doing their best writing. Homework should be in pencil. Children should have a clean dry surface to work on. They should be able to work without distractions. Remind them to sit up straight, use their free hand to stabilize the paper, and use proper pencil grip. All of these are good habits to establish early for continual success.
Reading folders came home today. Remember to return only on Mondays (unless we have a school holiday). Our reading goal is 15 minutes a day, 4 days a week; or 4 hours a month. Fill in the reading calendar completely before returning including child's name, your signature, and total time read. Remember starting next month your child can earn a personal pan pizza from Pizza Hut for meeting the reading goal. The reading calendar looks like this:
Each month your child will get a new set of sight words (or sooner if they pass them off early).
The skills sheet are things we are working on in Kindergarten. It is also homework. Please sign and return that sheet the beginning of each month.
