While your child won't be bringing home nightly assignments, we encourage you to continue fostering a love for learning at home. Spend quality time with your child engaging in activities that promote academic growth, curiosity, and creativity.

Here are some suggestions for valuable at-home activities that can enhance your child's skills:

📚 Read Together: Explore the wonders of literature by reading books together. Reading is a fantastic way to expand vocabulary and imagination, whether it's a bedtime story or an afternoon adventure.

🧮 Math Enrichment: Utilize the EnVision workbook to practice math problems at home. This will reinforce the day's lessons and allow your child to master key mathematical concepts.

📝 Assignment Catch-Up or Ahead: If your child is particularly enthusiastic about a certain subject, feel free to explore related topics or assignments from class. Likewise, use this time to catch up on incomplete tasks and ensure a solid understanding of the material.

Remember, the goal is to create a positive and engaging learning experience for your child. Encourage them to spend at least 15-30 minutes daily on these activities, tailoring the time to suit your family's schedule.
