They are due at the end of each week. We check them to see how many activities you have completed. Journals are returned on Mondays.  Sight Words Sight words are very important for your child this year. In order for your child to begin reading, they will need to memorize many words. The words that are coming home each week in your child’s homework folder are words on the Kindergarten sight word lists.  Reading with the Principal: When a child can read all of the words on the first word list, he or she can read these to a principal. We will send more information about this.
