Ways To Help At Home......
* Work with your child to ensure they complete all homework assignments. It
is important you only assist your child in doing the homework and not do the
assignment for them.
* Please encourage your child to only use uppercase letters when starting a
sentence or at the beginning of their name.
* When forming their letters, check to see your child is starting at the top
of the line. In class, we call this "Sky to the Ground".
* Please read with your child every night.
