Dear Parents,
I know you all all best with your families and every other commitment, so I am trying to give flexibility as far as homework.
Each month you will receive a paper with pumpkins or turkeys, etc. I know that reading to and with your child, is the most important way to help them to be successful at school, so please have your child color one pumpkin, for example, and return the paper at the end of the month for a small prize to celebrate reading.
Please also continue to do the activities in the open house binder with the sight words and point out those words as they are reading.
Do have your child practice writing their first and last names. They should be capitalizing the first letter and the rest of the letters should be lower case.
Every month you will also be getting a calendar with activities to do at home. Please choose at least 4 per week to complete.
There are a few things that are very important to do at home while your child is in kindergarten or the early elementary years..
*Read to your child every night. It is important for your child to read to you but don't stop reading to them as well.
Nothing will help your child to be a good reader more. Ask questions while you are reading?
For example:
Why did the boy do this?
What do you think will happen next?
Did something like this ever happen to you?
*Talk to your child about what they did in school. Please have your child empty their folder everyday and talk about the papers they have done that day.
*Give your child lots of opportunities to develop their fine motor skills. Let them use (with supervision of course) markers, paint, scissors, glue, etc. as well as legos, stringing beads, etc.
*Count everything in your environment. Point out numbers and sight words you see. Work on identifying random numbers up to 100.
*Have a map of the United States where you child can see it and point out locations of places that are of importance to them.
*Have a 100's chart available for your child to interact with. What is 10 more than 21? What is 10 less than 81? Have them practice counting by 10's
There will be lots of time to do worksheets and daily homework. In the early years, I feel these things are most important.
Please let me know if you have any questions!
