Homework week of Sept. 11-15

Hello All!
I have to say…I have the best kindergarteners in the Universe! I had most everyone return their homework…finished! Wow! It was amazing! I also love love love that 90% of them are bringing their homework/takehome folder back and forth each day! Let’s try and make it 100%! 

Also, as the flashcards and baggie books start to come home in their folders, please make sure that after you practice them at home they return each day in the homework folders. I want them to practice at home but we also practice them here at school each day. 😉

This week for homework I am sending home another writing packet. This includes their name, letter practice, and tracing skills. I want them working on how to hold and control their pencil or writing tool (we call it a writing tool because sometimes we use markers, colored pencils or crayons). Please make sure when they are working on their homework they are holding their “writing tool” correctly. If they are not say “pencil check” and they should correct how they are holding it. 
Remember…* 20 minutes of reading each night
                    * No more than 10 minutes a night on homework 😉

If you have any questions or concerns about the homework please contact me at chill@questac.org. Thanks so much for all you do with your student at home. It makes a big difference!

Homework

We are sending homework home today. We will be printing the homework for the first few weeks only because we are working on our names and obviously everyones is different. In a few weeks we will be posting it on the blog for you to print off at home. Remember to log your 20 minutes of reading each night and only spend 10 minutes per night doing homework. Homework is due Friday. If you have any questions or concerns please let me know. Thank you! We could not do it without all your hard work at home. Have a wonderful day!!
