Homework

September 10, 2007

 

Dear Parents,

 

Your child will be bringing home his/her homework bag each Monday.  The bag will contain a poem that we have been working on in the classroom.  It will also contain a handwriting sheet.  Please hang up the poem and have your child read it each day.  You should ask your child to point to different words or find the words that rhyme.

 

The handwriting sheet should be completed with a pencil.  Your child should trace the given letters and make several more just like the ones he/she traced.  Please encourage your child to work slowly and carefully.  It is very important that the uppercase letters begin at the top line.  None of the letters should begin at the bottom line.  The handwriting sheet is due on Tuesday.

 

Your child will be bringing home his/her homework bag on other days, as well.  We will have math homework during the week.  Please check your child’s back pack each day.  The homework bag is always due back at school the next day.

 

We will discuss homework in further detail at Back to School Night on September 18th.

 

 

Sincerely,

The First Grade Teachers
