Kindergarten Homework

For homework each night complete the Saxon math worksheet that is sent home. (Worksheet does not need to be returned.) Also, choose and complete one activity listed below each night. Then initial the homework calendar on the correct day and return the calendar to school at the end of each month for a homework grade.

Monday- Math activities:

1) Student writes numbers before and after a number. Ex: ___ 20 ___ 22 ___

2) Student counts by 10’s to 100 and writes numbers down

3) Student counts by 5’s to 100 or higher, and writes numbers down

4) Student counts by 2’s to 20 or higher, and writes numbers down

5) Student counts coins by values: pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters

(Use only one coin type at a time at first and then add mixed coins later in the year)

Tuesday- Sight word practice:

-Practice writing words from kindergarten sight word list. *

-Make flash cards of the sight words on 3x5 cards. Students choose three words and write each in a sentence. (Encourage your child to stretch out the words (Ex. “hhhaaattt”) and write down the letters for the sounds they hear. Applaud their effort even if it’s not exactly right. Our goal at this stage is to attach written letters to spoken sounds.

Wednesday- Read books together from the mini-book collection (sent home on Fridays) or other books your child can read.
