Homework information

Good evening, 

Some crazy weather today! I hope everyone stayed dried. I wanted to give out some information on our kindergarten homework plan for this school year. I thought it would be best to share it now, as our first homework packet will be going home the second week of school. This will give you time to review the information and allows me to answer any questions for you. 

• Homework Folder
• Provided by me
• Students are encouraged to bring and turn in their folders daily (will have a file holder on my classroom door)
• I will keep folders over the weekend and return every Monday

• Homework practice pages 

• going home every two weeks
• The pages sent home are meant to be fun and used multiple times
• Feel free to place them in sheet protectors or laminate to use with a dry erase marker
• Nightly Reading
• A month log reading log will be sent home at the beginning of each month
• On a daily basis please read 10 min, clean out your child's folder and backpack. Then initial in all corresponding spots
• Monthly Family projects
• These will go home at the beginning of each month and will have a set due date (at least two weeks time will be given)
• Due date are given so children have time to present their projects to their classmates

Mrs. Gil
