Homework
Please regularly read to or with your child, and discuss books together. Engage your child in conversations about what we've been doing in school, what they'd like to learn more about in our garden & forest studies, and find some time to enjoy being outside together.
It is most helpful if your child reads the books to an adult. Regularly work on the sight word books (Choose activities that work for your family. Practice is what is important, so if the more time consuming activities keep your child from practicing, please choose some of the more straight forward practice methods.). Help your child find authentic purposes for writing at home (grocery lists, letters to relatives, thank you notes, journals). With everything the more time your child spends engaged in the activity the more your child will grow and develop in that area.
