• Please make sure you are practicing letter and number fluency with your child at home. Give them a minute timer to see how far they can go on both fluency worksheets. If your child is finishing the letter fluency quickly, start practice letter sound fluency and ask them to tell you what sound each letter makes.
• Please have your child pick an item on the choice board to help reinforce skills that we are learning at school.
• If your child's teacher sent home a sight word packet, please make sure you are reviewing these words at home. By the end of Kindergarten, they will have learned 78 sight words, so practice is very important for them.

Reminders:

• Please make sure that you change out your child's change of clothes to warmer clothes.
• Please make sure that your child has a winter coat for recess and that it is labeled.
• If money is being sent in, please make sure it is in a ziplock bag with your child's name and what the money is for (i.e. lunch, field trips, etc.).
• Make sure to take the papers out of your child's binder daily.
• Please send in a note in your child's binder if there is a dismissal change. If there is a change during the school day, please call the front office. Please do not email transportation changes.
