Your child will occasionally have a small task to complete for homework, such
as finding pictures for color posters, reading emergent readers that are sent
home, etc. You will find information on homework in your child's BEE book,
often in the Kindergarten News that comes home at the end of each week.
It is very important that you practice the sight words we practice in school,
which I will keep you up to date with in our newsletter. Also, whenever your
child brings something home to read, please be sure to listen to them read
their story.
You can always work on basic math skills with your child, such as counting,
simple addition and subtraction concepts, calendar skills, and patterns.
Also, in addition to materials your child may bring home to read to you, it
is critical that you read to your child every day.
The extra practice at home reinforces what we are working on at school and
gives your child extra practice, and ultimately, builds your child's
knowledge and confidence. Having two young children myself, I understand how
busy life is. But please take the time to help your child with any
homework. It can also build lifelong accountability and responsibility in
their learning.
