5. Timed Reading
*** We are still learning, please turn in your homework every week***
1- Math Homework: Complete the EVERY OTHER problem on the math homework pages. PLEASE CHECK YOUR CHILD’S WORK. I’ve been receiving a number of homework pages done incorrectly. Practicing incorrectly REINFORCES those MISTAKES. Thank you!
- Complete the My Math homework pages and staple them to the Homework Form.
- Please also practice math skills regularly by utilizing any of the math activities that you can access BY Math Facts Activities for Math Activities. These math facts activities do not need to be documented for homework credit – they are simply a resource to help you practice math fluency on a regular basis. I strongly encourage you to have your child do the Xtra Math regularly-The XTRA Math sign on’s are located on the Math Fact Activities Purple Link Underlined.
Reading minutes can also include books from the category list for the library “Tower of Book Challenge”. We only have 8 books, I know we are reading so much more than that. Keep it up Mrs. Nelson’s class-let’s catch up to Mrs. Dunmeyer’s 28 books!

3- Timed Fluency Reading Passages
This activity should be completed Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday.
- Visit the following website: http://www.haslett.k12.mi.us/education/components/scrapbook/default.php?sectiondetailid=11283&:
- Select “Level 200″. For this week, please read passage # 202 (Ocean Habitats) for MONDAY and TUESDAY, and passage #203 (Desert Habitats) for WEDNESDAY and THURSDAY.
- Complete a one-minute timed reading and record your score on the Homework Form. Feel free to use this online timer: http://www.online-stopwatch.com/timer/1minute/ . Find your score by subtracting the number of incorrect words read from the total number of words read in one minute (for instance, if you read 98 words, but read 5 of the words incorrectly, your score would be 93).
- Re-tell the story with as much detail as possible, and in your own words, to a parent, using the guidelines described below:
If you are able to read the entire passage in less than a minute: start again at the top of the passage and read as many more words as you can until the one-minute timing is over. For scoring, include the total words read during the entire minute. For instance, if you read the entire passage (137 words) and then read part of it again (39 words) before the one-minute timing was over, your score would be 176 (if you had no mistakes).
