Homework
Tic-Tac-Toe
On Mondays, you will be receiving a tic-tac-toe board of homework activities. Please complete the assignment by Friday. The directions are as follows:
~Pick at least three activities in a row (make a tic-tac-toe)
~Return ONLY the tic-tac-toe board on Friday to show which activities were completed
~After completing three in a row, feel free to do more
Tic-tac-toe homework is always based on what we are working on at school. If your child cannot complete the assignments, this is an area they need extra support. Please work with them at home and feel free to ask me for other ideas.
Tic-tac-toe homework sheets will be returned every week so that you will have extra ideas of things you can do at home to help your child. I suggest keeping them in a folder so that you or your child can reference them.
REMEMBER, Kindergarten students have homework every night. This may be reading, writing, math, previous tic-tac-toe work, etc.
Thank you! As always, we appreciate your support at home! Please contact me with any questions.

Book Reports
Reading at home is extremely important for your child’s literacy growth! In addition to reading stories, you should ask your child questions about the book, such as, his/her favorite part or character, the setting, the problem/solution, etc.
To share one of these stories, a book report page will come home in your child’s Friday Folder every week. Book reports are to be completed each weekend and returned on Mondays. The report can be about any book you read to your child, or your child reads on his/her own. Thanks for your help.

Book in the Bag
Every Friday, your child will receive two leveled readers in a book bag. These books are for your child to read. Your child should be able to read these books with minimal help. They are meant for practicing fluency, so your child should read them many times during the week. Feel free to have your child read to parents, grandparents, siblings, friends, stuffed animals, pets, etc. The more your child reads, the better reader he/she will become.
In addition to these readers, your child will also bring home a library book for you to read to them for fun and comprehension practice.
Please return these books every Friday (or the last day of the week) in the book bag, and your child will exchange them for new ones. PLEASE TREAT THESE BOOKS WITH CARE AND RETURN THEM EVERY WEEK.
