Homework - Using Scissors this Week! (and other Homework procedures)

      We've noticed a lot of friends need help using scissors.  In school, we've talked about using scissors to cut paper only.  We also talked about and modeled how to put scissors away safely (by holding your hand over the closed scissors until you put it away).  Please return the scissors once your child has cut apart the homework paper.  I sent the paper home Monday attached to the newsletter.  Obviously the cut paper can stay home :), but please return the scissors to school once you are done with the homework.  The letter T paper is due Monday.  Have your child practice tracing the letter several times following the directions on the back of the newsletter.  Then, they can color the keyword picture.  Also students are bringing home Book Choice folders today.  You may keep them until Friday, or your child can switch them out any day during the week.
