HOMEWORK:

About once a week kindergarten teachers send home “HOMEWORK” with their students. Please encourage proper letter formation, directionality (left to right, top to bottom), good posture, and a quiet area away from the distraction of the television etc. where your child can “work” with your assistance. Please return homework papers by Thursday of each week.

Math “Home Links” can be accessed on the Everyday Mathematics website: http://www.wrightgroup.com/index.php/home/everydaymathematics/emsecondupdate/familyletters/46?SID=2141
