Helpful Kindergarten Tips *Work with
your child in small increments. Working for more than
10-15 minutes at a time might frustrate your child. Keep it fun. Instead of worksheets, use games, write on
glass patio doors, chalkboards, or shower walls, cut paper dolls, play with
play dough, etc. *Check the
internet for new ideas. All children are
different and learn in different ways.
On the internet, you will find a myriad of ideas for helping your
child. *Turn off
the TV! Set a goal as a family to
only watch TV so many hours a week.
This will ensure time spent together as a family. Play a game together. Get outside and write on the sidewalk with
sidewalk chalk! Read a book together
as a family! *Invite
your child’s friends over to play! This will give you an opportunity
to see how your child handles social situations. One or two hours makes a good play date at
this age. |

Homework: Please read with your child at least 10 minutes each
night and record it on his/her reading log.
One log is due per month per district requirements. Your
child will be working on learning all 26 letters in upper and lower
case. He will be expected to recognize
these letters in print, tell you the sound for each
letter and be able to write each letter in correct D’Nealian Handwriting. Fun ways
to learn your letters or sight words: *Make a double set of flashcards on 3 by
5 cards and play memory. *Write the words or letters in shaving
cream on the window, table or shower wall and say the word as you write it. *Write the words or letters with your
favorite flavor of pudding and your finger. *Write the words or letters with
sidewalk chalk outside. *Spell the words with magnetic letters
on the fridge. *Find and circle the letters or words in
a magazine or newspaper article. You
could even cut them out and glue them onto a piece of paper or make sentences
with them! DLTK.com has some fun ways to make Bingo
cards. Make up a set of sight word
bingo cards and play bingo with your family! Math: We are learning to tell time to the hour,
to identify coins and using a number line to count forward and backward! Please
work with your child 5-10 minutes per night on letter recognition, the sounds
each letter makes and how to write each letter when you say the letter
name. Sight
Words: Kindergarten students should be able to
say each word when they see it in print without having to sound it out. These are the words we will learn this year
along with other seasonal and theme-related words. I go we
the on like
a my red
blue purple brown
orange black green

Websites: Some of these websites have
worksheets you can print off and some have wonderful games for your child to
play to reinforce what we’ve learned at school!
www.harcourtschool.com/menus/auto/21/223.html www.bbc.co.uk/schools/laac/story/sbi.shtml http://www.first-school.ws/INDEX.HTM This site has printable handwriting
pages with lines for your child to use to write stories, practice writing numbers
or letters, etc. I prefer to use Style 1 of the Preschool
format for practicing letters. www.tvokids.com/framesets/play.html?game=28& |
