This is the packet I sent home at my conferences...a little varied based on each child's need.
{Reading A-Z books, sight word flash cards for 1st & 2nd quarter and number cards along with my Common Core checklist for parents - now available in Spanish too!}
I previously sent this packet within the first couple weeks of school for my few that were really struggling and not making appropriate growth.
{tracing capital & lowercase letters and Handwriting Without Tears letter formation cues}
{I can Read It bag - letters or sight words mastered go inside to build confidence - and name from MyMoondrops}
{cutting practice & Handwriting Without Tears number formation cues}
I also include a pencil, scissors, dry erase marker and crayons along with ABC flashcards {capital on the front & lowercase on the back}. What do you send with your kids to have them practice at home??
How sweet of you to do this for each of your students!! I bet your classroom parents are so thankful they got you as a teacher.

Thank you for sharing! I'm planning to do this with a few of my students and wasn't sure what to include.

Hey there Kristin, your blog is awesome...love the shoes design of the whole site...By the way, I also like your post about Home Packets, they maybe seem simple yet so much powerful when introduce to students...
