March/April

 

Read to your child every night before bed. Have your child tell the story from the pictures before you read. Retell the story explaining what happened in the beginning, middle and end. 

 

 

Write often with your child. Make lists, write letters to a friend and create stories. Help your child use the sounds he/she knows to build words. Tell them to "Say the words slowly and think about the sounds you hear to write it down."

 

 

 Make counting a part of your daily routine. Scholars need to count to 100 by 1s, 5s and 10s by the end of the year. Search for Jack Hartman counting songs online. Our scholars love him!

 

 

 Continue to practice addition and subtraction facts through 5 using the cards that were sent home during our Math Challenge Weeks. Encourage your child to use different strategies (objects, drawings, fingers, counting on).
