September 


Kindergarten Homework Letter

Purpose:  The purpose of homework in Kindergarten is to encourage responsibility and to practice/reinforce basic skills at home.

Format:  Homework is in a calendar format with an activity for each night of the week Monday-Thursday (for a typical 5 day week of school).  The calendar allows for you to work with your child at a pace that works best for him/her and your schedule.  You are more than welcome to do the assigned activity of the day each day or do them all one on one night-whatever works best for you and your child.

Due Dates:  Please help your child ensure that his/her homework packet is in the Take Home folder on Friday.  I check homework each Friday for the assigned week. Your child will earn a sticker for completion each Friday for his/her sticker chart.

When will homework start? Your child will receive his/her first homework packet for September on Friday, August 31st.  I will check the first week's assignment on Friday, September 7th.

Other forms of "homework:"
  • Small-group reading books: Once we begin small reading groups, your child will be reading 2 leveled books to his/her level a week with me.  These books will be sent home in a bag that will have a direciton sheet to go with it.  More information to come!
  • Monthly Book Clubs!: This is always optional but Book Club is FUN! :) Your child simply needs to record (or a parent record) the books he/she reads to or with an adult at home on the designated sheet that is sent home.  I collect these on the last day of the month and for those who have completed their sheets, we have a lunch party in the room!  The purpose of Book Club is to encourage a love of reading and reading at home consistently.
