Homework

   Homework for Kindergarten consists of worksheets and reading 
books to fill the monthly reading charts.  (The reading charts should remain 
in the children's folders.)  The children should practice naming all of the 
letters in the alphabet, saying the sound each letter makes, and printing both capital and lowercase 
letters.  They may practice counting to 100 by ones, twos, fives, and tens.  They should be able to 
recognize and write numbers 0 - 100.  The children should practice reciting their address 
and telephone number.  Tying shoes, zipping, and buttoning are also skills that should be practiced 
regularly.  The Sign of the Cross, the Our Father, the Hail Mary, Grace Before Meals, and the Glory Be are 
all prayers that Kindergarten students should know.  The Prayer of St. Francis is also learned by the full-
day Kindergarten students.
