February Homework

Please check your child’s folder on Monday for this month’s homework.  Our primary goal is to get kids reading at home. We’ve sprinkled in some writing and specific reading practice.  Please consider posting these sheets in an accessible area and spending time with your child each evening on their literacy tasks. The checklist references weekly words/sight words, both of which can be found right here each week in the Blog.

We will be celebrating this fun day in style on Wednesday, February 17.  Please send an old t-shirt to school by Monday, February 15.
