EASTER BREAK HOMEWORK

Dear Parents,

During the Easter Break I would like the children to continue working on identifying and reading their Sight Words.  Please check the weekly post and copy all the sight words onto index cards and have your child read them independently.  Remember all the children must be able to read these words independently by June.  Also, today I pasted inside your child's homework folder an index card with their username and password for the IXL program.  This is the computer program for Math and Language Arts that we work on every week.  Log into IXL.com and once you put in the username and password make sure to click on "Pre-K" and complete the following assignments:

Pre-K Language Arts

- Letter Recognition: B.1, B.2, B.3, B.4, B.5

Pre-K Math

- Count to 5: B.1, B.2, B.3, B.4, B.5, B.6, B.7, B.8

- Count to 10: C.1, C.2, C.3, C.4, C5, C.6, C.7, C.8

Some of the children may have already completed some of these assignments during computer class.  If it is completed continue to the next one.  Please do not have your child complete any of the other sections I have not assigned. Thank you all for your cooperation and I wish everyone a Blessed and Happy Easter!

Sincerely, 

Ms. Rodriguez
