Homework....yup, even for these little ones. :)

I know the word homework does not conjure up happy feelings but it's so important that they practice a few things at home.  There just isn't enough time for practice during class so each Thursday I will be sending home a little something for them to do each day until I see them again on Tuesday.  If you look in their binders you will find a name tracing activity and on the back there is a prewriting practice sheet.

For the name practice sheet they need to do three things: 
1- Point to each letter of their name and repeat after you the name of the letter.
2- Trace the letters with their finger.
3- Trace over the letters with a dry-erase marker.  (Then erase)

For the Prewriting Practice page they need to do two things:
1-Trace with their finger from the green star to the red dot, following the dotted line.
2- Trace over the dotted line with a dry-erase marker from green star to red dot. (Then erase)






*Also I have a video for you to watch if you have a few minutes on teaching your child to hold a pencil correctly.  You will find it HERE .
