Our Christmas party will be combining with Mrs. Fisher’s class in the Q1 gym on Thursday, December 18th at 8:45 a.m. Please mark it on your calendars. The kids have been working hard on their Christmas program numbers. If you can volunteer we would thoroughly welcome and enjoy it! More information will be rolled out on my blog soon.
In our class you are responsible to print the homework organizer, the weekly sort and the math sheets on Monday’s. Please staple together and return on Friday mornings. (If you would rather record the math homework answers on the back of one of the organizer sheets I will accept that also)

Click on the shape of your child’s group. On the outside of your child’s blue homework folder I have put the shape he or she is in for your convenience right next to their name. (please look at that so that you know what sort to do each day). Also, make sure you are asking for your child to look at their homework folder each night. Several children have been placing them back in their desks instead of taking them home each night.
WORD SORTS (please print your child’s word sort for the week)
Stars
Triangles
Diamonds
Circles
Hearts
Use the Word Sort for the following activities.
- Monday: Print, cut, and sort your words with an adult and explain this week’s rule. Sort each word under the correct guide word. Some guide words have a C or V combination on them – C stands for consonant and V stands for vowel.
- Tuesday: Speed Sort. Time your child three different times sorting their words and record each of the times in the lines provided above the grid. (Then have your child write their sort (using the grid on page 2 of the Homework Form). High frequency words written three times on the bottom in the lines provided.
- Wednesday: Blind Sort (Lay down the guide words and then read the rest of the words aloud without showing them to your child. Your child must indicate where the word goes without seeing it.) Rainbow write the high frequency words for the week on the lines provided.
- Thursday: Sort and glue (sort the words and glue them to the back of the Homework Form).

Your child should know their “Doubles” facts automatically (which makes “Near Double” facts easy and fast to figure out). If they are counting to figure out the answers to their doubles, they aren’t memorized. Please continue to practice as needed:
