During Virtual Learning, Please review Alphabet letters and Count with your child. Check Seesaw for unfinished work. Remind students to complete Imagine Learning or Imagine Math.
Please continue with homework each night. Reading with your child is so important to their education.
Each
child has a homework folder that is sent home nightly. I recommend that
you spend about 15-20 minutes each night on letters, sounds, number
recognition, and sight words. The best gift that you can give your child
is to read to them each night. The children will begin bringing home
easy readers books. Please read the book with your child. They will keep
the same book all week. By Friday, they will be able to read the book
by themselves. Reading the same book each night builds confidence in the
children.
For extra
Literacy help, read library books, zip lock bag books, recipes as you cook
dinner, the newspaper or magazines. Children love reading environmental
print that they see at home, grocery store, or road signs. (cereal
boxes, crackers, restaurants, Stop signs) For extra Math practice in
counting, have your child count toys as they clean up or count the
number of silverware and plates needed to set the table. Children should
also be writing something about their book. (Favorite part).
Please
sign the Homework folder and return each day. Please leave letter
sheets, sight words and book inside of folder. Mrs. Sams uses these
lists for reviewing with children.
It is a good idea to write letters and sight words on index cards. Children often memorize the sight word lists.
Practice writing letters and words in a pan of sand, salt or use Play
Dough to form letters. A great activity is to count toys and blocks as
your child cleans up his room.
Thank you for all of your help with homework. It makes a big impact on your child's education.
