Bringing School Home

• At our preschool, we do not consider it developmentally appropriate for children to bring home "Homework" on a daily basis. However, it is very important that you are aware of the concepts that we are working on in our classroom for children to be able to practice at home. The concepts include:
• Counting with accuracy and recognition while using numbers 1-10.
• Recognizing all letters of the alphabet in both lower and upper case.
• Developing awareness and understanding of measurement words/concepts such as more, less and descriptive texture concepts such as rough, smooth, scratchy, bumpy, soft.
• Recognizing their own name in print.
• Begining writing concepts such as proper grasp of writing utensils and tracing.
• Recognizing and describing basic shapes.

Resources:

• Here are a few websites we use in the classroom to practice these concepts that can easily be accessed from your home or local library. Click on the links below to explore the different sites!
