| Parent involvement is essential for academic growth in
kindergarten. One area that parents play a critical role is in the
completion of homework. I know as a parent, homework is time
consuming for students as well as parents and I have taken that to heart
when asking for your time and cooperation in the homework requirements
for this class Our homework is relatively simple and has a
minimal time requirement. Each night your child will bring home a
short book that you can read to them. Please use this book to
ask comprehension questions only about the story. As the
year progresses and students learn more words, I will begin to send word
rings home to expose the students to more sight words. This will
be the only required homework.
In kindergarten we use a very hands on approach and you may not see a
lot of worksheet type of activities coming home. For
this reason, there is not make-up work required when a student misses
school. It is also for this reason that is important for your
child to attend school as often as possible. I try provide a fun
and exciting curriculum for students to learn and practice the skills
they are acquiring and hope that they will enjoy and anticipate coming
to school. |
