  1. How can parents help their children at home Let’s Work Together

  2. Homework • The purpose of homework is to reinforce the skills taught in class and should take no longer than 1 hr. This should include 20 minutes of reading. • Make sure that your child completes their work every night and check for errors. • If your child is a fan of electronics try adding educational apps to your/their smart devices. Apps such as PBSkids, NickJr, ABC Mouse, and Starfall. This activity can be added into their 1 hour of homework. • Feel free to replace other expensive hand-held devices with less expensive but, educational ones. Such as: Leapfrog and V-tech games.

  3. Homework(continued) • You can also encourage you children to put down the smart devices and pick up a set of sight words cards, letter cards, and number cards. These can be purchased at The Dollar Tree, Dollar General, or Wal-Mart. • If they say, “We don’t have any homework”, the fun doesn’t have to end. This is an opportunity for you to be creative. • Encourage your students to spend some time on the ConnectEd website. • Have them go through the kitchen and tell you the beginning sounds of different items. For example: stove begins with s, cabinet begins with c. Use chocolate sauce to write sight words on graham crackers.
