Homework and Folder
Assist your child in learning good organization skills by having a special place for his/her things at home. This special place should contain a pair of scissors, glue, crayons, sharp pencils and an extra folder.
Your child will bring home the school folder nightly. The folder will contain homework and important notices. Homework is placed on the left hand side of the folder and is to be completed by the child, signed by the parent and placed back in the folder. The folder and homework are to be returned to school the next day.
Homework is assigned Monday through Thursday as a reinforcement of daily lesson(s). As previously stated, it is found on the left hand side of the folder.
Please follow directions as stated. For example, if the directions state to color an activity or match objects, please complete as directed. These activities are structured to assist your child in developing skills.
Decodable books: Children are introduced to sight words and progress to sentence structure. Sight words are introduced in context of a sentence. Children learn how to read, spell and print the sight words. Decodable books are used to assist children in learning how to read. The decodable books build upon prior knowledge of sight words learned. Notes that are sent with decodable books have an updated list of sight words learned. Perhaps there is a word that is not on the school list that your child has an interest in learning to read. Assist your child in printing the word on a card and practice reading that word nightly as well.
Exposure to books assist children in developing auditory skills, as well as visual skills. Integrate these reading skills: holding a book properly, identifying the title and the author, page numbers, a book is in counting order, turning the page, as well as asking questions to develop comprehension. Incorporate reading to your child at least 20 minutes nightly. Assist your child in finding words that have been learned in a book. For example, if the sight word "the" has been introduced, point out the word "the" in the book you are reading. Assist your child in finding the word "the" in another sentence. Words are also in our environment. Read signs in a store, as well as discuss signs on the road.
Practice makes permanence in the brain.
