Note: No homework in Kindergarten; however, we strongly encourage:
Read daily with your child. Review sight words at least twice a week to ensure that your
child knows his / her sight words. We will provide sight word flashcards on the blog
to help with the review. Practice handwriting of letters, words, and name. Practice math facts (e.g. counting 1 – 100, sorting and matching
objects to a number).
