Please go on the school website to sign up on Be A Mentor so you can help in class and go on field trips. You must do this to participate in class or with students. It takes several weeks to be approved so you will want to do this now if you have not done so already. There are so many special events that you will not want to miss out on. Plus your child will love to have you in class.

If your child doesn't yet know their letters and sounds we need to get busy right away to help them learn them. Further down on my website there are YouTube learning videos posted. Please help them find the ones that will help them learn and practice their letters and sounds. You may also want to purchase the Leap Frog DVD called The Letter Factory as that is the easiest way for them to learn them quickly! You can get it on Amazon or at Target for around $7.

Homework Hints

1-Please have your child put their number on the front of their homework packet each week.

2-Please have your child do the homework assigned on the day indicated as I want them to have class instruction and practice prior to their practice at home.

3-Once we have learned a letter in handwriting I expect it to be done correctly especially in their name.

4-Please no stickers on homework folders. You may want to start a paper on their bedroom wall at home for them to post their stickers. Stickers on the folders become very messy soon so please don’t let them put them on their folders.

5-This week we will begin first name practice in the homework. They should only do two rows each day. Please don’t let them do them all at once as they get tired and messy. We are going for practice makes perfect—just a little bit each day. Try to watch them to see if they are starting on the dot and forming the letters correctly. Also remind them to mind the lines.

6-Please review last weeks homework with your child, going over what is great and what needs more practice. Be sure to compliment them!

7-Use Star Readers for book talks not leveled readers.

Remember to bring Box Tops
Bring in your used ink cartridges
