Happy Tickets

White Homework Folder We have only one folder in Kindergarten. The white folder is our homework folder. This folder needs to be initialed and returned daily. Notes that require your attention will be included in this folder along with any homework that needs to be completed. This folder also keeps you informed of your child’s behavior for the day.

Homework Policy Kindergarten children will be given some assignments throughout the week. The homework consists of handwriting, guided reading, or math practice. Homework should be returned the following day. Children are rewarded with a happy ticket for each returned assignment. Sight word practice and reading with your child are two things that should be done daily in order to build reading skills. We consider return of the white daily behavior/homework folder part of their homework responsibility and it will be noted under work habits on the report card.

Guided Reading Books Guided reading will begin soon. Your child will be bringing home a ‘book in a bag’ that includes a book that we have practiced during our reading group. A reading log is also in the bag and will need your signature. Please return the book, log and homework in the baggy.
