We are on the final downhill slope to first grade! Can you believe it?? As we prepare for our transition to first grade, I am expecting much more of your children. Their first grade teachers will expect them to know how to write on lined paper. They will not want to see reversals. They should know that a sentence begins with a capital and ends with a period. It's time to 'crack down' on these skills. When doing homework, it is important that you look over their work. If they are making letters or numbers backwards, point this out and have them correct their mistake. Be sure they are writing on lined paper correctly. Practicing something over and over incorrectly is not good. Show them their mistakes as they make them. Read my notes on homework. I try to give you pointers.
