Kindergarten Literacy Night

Thank you to all the kindergarten parents who attended Literacy Night on Monday evening. It is our hope you gained a little insight about what your child is learning in school and picked up a few ideas for supporting your child at home. Below are the web sites we discussed. Enjoy...and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

The Internet offers a wealth of resources for both parents and children. We’ve collected numerous web sites for you and/or your child to explore. As always, monitor the sites your child is using and spend some time with your child as they use the Internet as a learning tool.

Most of these sites are free, but some offer memberships that allow access to additional activities.
