This Week’s Homework:

 

The following assignments should be completed and turned in by Thursday:

1.     ch or c?

2.    Chick Addition

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

4.     Practice reading our sight words every night.

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.
