4. Blue Homework Folder
We have only one folder in Kindergarten. The blue 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 the homework packet. This folder also keeps you informed of your child’s behavior for the day.

5. Homework Policy
Kindergarten children will be given assignments on Monday through Thursday. The homework consists of letter formation review and sound review, math concepts and oral language. Homework should be returned the following day. Children are rewarded with a happy ticket for each returned assignment.

We consider return of the blue daily behavior/homework folder part of their homework responsibility and it will be noted under work habits on the report card.

6. 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. It may or may not include additional homework to complete. A reading log is also in the bag and will need your signature. Please return the book, log and homework in the baggy.

7. Traveling Books
We like to celebrate our children as authors. Monday through Thursday, the children are immersed in Writer’s Workshop. The children are working on stories specific to their life.
On Fridays, we like to work more specifically on the mechanics of writing (i.e. spaces, punctuation, etc.) while integrating our other curriculum areas. These efforts produce our traveling books! Please read, enjoy and celebrate your child’s work.
