It is not necessary to fill out a Homework Form for this week’s homework. Please complete the following activities:
Reading for All Learners Baggy Books will no longer be sent home. I am having a difficult time getting them returned and need to have them all accounted for. If your child doesn’t return their Baggy Book by Friday the replacement cost of $2.50 per book will need to be paid to me to order the replacement. It is not necessary to fill out a Homework Form for this week’s homework. Simply reading a book in RazKids this week will suffice.
This activity should be completed Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday. It is not necessary to fill out a Homework Form for this week’s homework – I trust that you will do it.
- 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 # 210 (How to Be a Good Citizen) for MONDAY and TUESDAY, and passage #211 (Symbols of Freedom Introduction) 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).
- ADDITION AND SUBTRACTION TIMINGS: Complete a 2 minute timing every night for both addition and subtraction facts. Please have your child do EVERY problem in a row, not skipping any. Then draw a line where they end and they will start there the next day. PLEASE CHECK FOR ACCURACY (an answer sheet is included). Your child should get in about 3 or 4 timings each side. If you have questions let me know. Click below to print timings worksheets (I know the bottom row got cut off – please ignore!):
