Dear Families,

Your child will be taking home an ABC book tomorrow.  It looks like this:

It will be sent home in your child’s book bag.  The directions are located inside the book.  For this week, your child is only working on the Letter S.  In the future, your child will be assigned more than one letter.  The letter book is due next Monday, since there is no kindergarten on Friday.  If you and child would like to start working on it tonight, start looking for pictures that start with the letter “s.”  Your child may use magazines, stickers, clip art, newspapers, etc.  Encourage your child to write the name of the picture below it. Tomorrow when the book comes home, have your child glue in the pictures on the S page.  Encourage your child to stretch the word out and write down all the sounds they hear.  Good Luck!

Nightly Literacy Homework:

Each night your child needs to practice literacy skills for at least 10 minutes.  At this point of the year, it might practicing writing their first and last name, reading books with you, working in their ABC book, etc.  Set the timer for 10 minutes.  Every time your child practices for 10 minutes have them color a soccer ball on the Nightly Homework. Your child’s goal is to color 5 soccer balls (or more) a week.  This will be sent home in your child’s book bag.  It will need to be returned to school on Monday, September 22.

Thanks for supporting your child’s learning!
