Clifford Activity: Schedule was sent home. Great job so far!! We love hearing about Clifford’s adventures.

  • Handwriting worksheet: Due Friday
  • Environmental Print scavenger hunt- due Friday

Practice the letters and/or sounds that were sent home. These need to be mastered.

  • Reading:

PRACTICE SIGHT WORDS EACH NIGHT!

Read each night for 15 minutes! Books will be on one side of their reading folder that they can read at night. Like I stated above, feel free to read aloud to your child. He/she can read any easier books or the guided reading books that we worked on together in class.

Their sight words will be on the other side. Please review those daily and move them to the “learned” side once your child knows them. This folder goes back and forth to school each day.

  • Math:

Complete the math pages for fun to reinforce the skills learned in class.

Practice writing your first and last name with the first letter of each word being a capital letter and the rest lowercase.

Show and Tell Theme: Dr. Seuss. You can bring one of your favorite books or anything that deals with the popular author, Dr. Seuss.
