*Please remember that there is Math homework Monday thru Thursday.  Go over it with your child to make sure they understand the concepts and that all the answers are correct. Sign the homework and send it back the next day.

*Remember to check your child's home folder and remove any corrected papers nightly.

*Try to set aside some time each night to read with your child.  This is a great way to bond with your child, as well as boosting their confidence and ability in reading.   

*Continue to practice, at home, writing the letters and numbers correctly.  Watch for letters that may be backwards or not formed properly on the line.
