Homework Has Begun!!


Your child should have brought their homework notebook home with them today. It is due back this Friday but we recommend keeping it in their backpack to help ensure it doesn't get left somewhere on that day. 

Each night your child should complete the review skill, choice 1 OR choice 2 and then do some reading with you. Reading aside, the work should take no longer than 20 minutes. The work should be completed on the pages behind the homework grid and you can put more than one night on a page to save paper. Until the children get more comfortable in their writing, they may need to dictate some of their ideas to you. But after a week or two, they need to begin doing some or more of the writing. 

All the questions from the homework relate to our standards. For example, you will see a question about finding the numbers on the mailbox. This relates to our social studies standard of knowing their "place in space" from continent down to home address. The question about figuring out animals relates to our animal coverings and sorting standard. If you have a questions about anything we ask, please email me. And remember, you have a choice on which task you complete. 

I have included a great link in my drop down menu on the BLOG - Parent Tips from Scholastic about how to set up great homework habits. Please take a look. And as always, let me know if there is anything you need. 


Have fun setting up a good homework routine and setting your child up for success in school.

Thank you for your cooperation and support!!

Weekly Update #1

Dear Kindergator Parents,                                                            Hello. It was wonderful to meet you at Meet & Greet last week, and it has been very exciting to work with your children! We drew a picture of ourselves, read about a “Officer Buckle and Gloria” which lead into a discussion about how rules keep up safe.  We met and read about a “Ginger Bread Man” who got loose in the school.  This led us on a “wild goose chase” to find him and ended up taking us on a tour of all the special places in our school.  We chatted while we ate our snack, had fun during recess (in the gym), and had more fun chatting with our new friends at lunchtime. On Wednesday and Friday, we ended our day in the gym for PE, and on Thursday, we went to Art.  We have been very busy every day!  There are a few things I would like to ask of you, please. 1 .  Please send your child in with one snack each day. They may also bring in a water bottle, if they would like one (Please label
