This Week’s Homework:

The following assignments should be completed by Friday:

1.     Phonics page for the letter of the week- Jj

2.     Handwriting page for the letter of the week- Jj

3.     2-3 choices from our monthly family activity calendar.

4.     Sight word practice! 

5.     Ten minutes (or more!) of reading every night with a parent, guardian, or older sibling, etc.  I’m sure your child would love to read the book in his or her small manila folder to you!  Sight words are fun to read together, too.  Reading together every night is VERY important.  Let’s work together to develop a love of books and reading in our children!


School library books are due every Wednesday morning.

Please help your child practice his or her lines for our Dr. Seuss play.  Thanks!
