Nightly homework

The children have some type of homework in kindergarten every evening. Do an activity from the monthly homework calendar, work on goals from the current month's sheet, review the goals from last month's goal sheet, read a book to your child,  and have your child read to you. They read daily at school so they know the three ways to read a book. They can read the pictures, read the words (look for sight words or letters that they know) and retell the story after you read it to them. First in Math is a program that the children need to be getting on as well. I check regularly to see who is on and who is not. Have them practice writing the letters of the alphabet and numbers.  You are setting the foundation of how important homework is for your child's success in school right now. It is never too early to start.
Respectfully,
