4. Kindergarten Curriculum
North Carolina has recently adopted the Common Core Curriculum.
This is a nationally endorsed curriculum.
The Common Core philosophy encourages a “deeper, not wider” approach to the curriculum.
To access more information visit the DPI website.

5. Kindergarten Homework
Beginning Monday, October 1, 2012:
1st Quarter Reading Homework
Monday: Choose a book from home or from the library. Parent will read the book aloud to child. Discuss what is the front and back cover of the book and the title page.
Tuesday: Re-read book. Ask: “What is an author?” “What is an illustrator”
Wednesday: Have child retell story. Count the number of words in the book’s title. Parent will chose a word from the title and child is to think of a rhyming word to go with it.
Thursday: Child will point to each word as parent reads the book. Ask child to identify characters and setting in the book. Have child draw their favorite character.
Friday: Turn in illustration.

7. -FYI-
Have your child practice opening the food containers you send in their lunchbox.
Please leave water bottles at home. We have a water fountain in our classroom and students can get water anytime. We have too many spills when students bring their own bottles.
ALWAYS send your child to school in closed toe shoes. This is for their safety.
