Homework: September 27 - Oct. 2

COINS, COINS, COINS!!
Please be able to know the identity and value of a penny, nickel, dime and quarter by Thursday of this week.  We will be testing on Thursday!

FALL:
Make a list of the signs of Fall outside.

WRITING NUMERALS:
Practice writing numerals checking for backwards up to 30 with a finger space in between each numeral.

BUG HUNT:
Make a list of all the bugs you can find outside.  Bring some in if you can.

TELLING TIME:
Practice telling time to the hour and half hour.  If you want more, practice to the quarter hour.

READ EVERY NIGHT!
Just 10 - 15 minutes a night will greatly help your child succeed in creating great learning habits.  I used to spend the time reading to my child for two of our nights a week.  Books are amazing and quality reading is a must for successful students!

WRTIE IT DOWN!
If your child had a great time this weekend, jot it down for writing a story about it during school.  How about a really great dinner, write it down. I try to keep a list of tiny ideas that will spark my writing since undoubtedly I would forget otherwise.

DINNER TIME CONVERSATIONS:
Dinner time with the family is getting more and more challenging with all of the activities offered to choose from.  Protect it if at all possible.  Our kids usually open up so much more during the dinner hour than just in passing.  Try having your child come to the table telling the best, worst and funniest thing of the day!  Jot down some of the ones your child would like to write about tomorrow during writing time.
