Dear Kindergarten Parents,
Current research has been unable to prove that homework improves student performance. As a kindergarten team, we have decided to not send home homework packets each week. We ask that you spend your evenings doing things that are proven to correlate with student success:
We encourage you to read daily with your child.
Practice letters and sounds if your child does not know them.
When your child is ready, practice sight words daily.
Play games with your child.
Encourage outdoor play.
Get your child to bed early.
We appreciate your support as we navigate through determining what is best for our students and developmentally appropriate for them. We are committed to supporting the development of the whole child and helping to instill a love of learning.
The Kindergarten Team
