This is a list of fun and helpful things to do at home that reinforce what we are learning in the classroom!  Enjoy!

• READ as often as possible! Take turns....have your child read to you one night and the next night you read to them!!
• Make sure to do book-in-a-bag each night!

• Point out letters and numbers wherever you see them.
• Review the songs and poems that I send home.
