• Worksheets: Please look in your child’s green folder on Tuesday for worksheets with concepts that have been taught in class.  The purpose of this homework is for a quick review, some practice, and a chance for parents to see what their child is learning in math.  Please complete every other problem (alternate between evens and odds so your child gets practice doing story problems AND “Vocabulary Check”/ “Test Practice” problems each week).  If your child wants to do every problem they are certainly free to do so!  Please help your child read the directions/example problems and allow them to talk about the problems as they figure out the answers. 

• Math Fluency Timings: Click on the link to see where your child is at on math timings.Then print the page of timing they are working on. Addition and Subtraction Fluency Timings. Print the page they are working on and put it in a sheet protector in your child’s green folder. Time them for 1 minute and 15 seconds twice. Have them use an expo to write their answers that way you can reuse sheets. 

• HARDER TIMINGS: I wasn’t loving what I had started so I am changing things again. If your child has passed off all the other timings here are some new timings I made. They should not have to regroup and should be able to either count on or know it by heart. Print off Harder Math Timings 10-20.  Here is the tracker to know where your child is at Timings 10-20. Time them still for 1 minute 15 seconds. Please let me know if you need help with anything.  

We are working on the -ike, and -ide word families that are associated with Long I as in “i____e” . Continuing to review apostrophe’s, plurals, making and confirming predictions this week.   We are also learning about present-tense verbs and play genre’s.  

You can review the picture below for the week at a glance.

1- Daily Reading Fluency 
A Reading for All Learners (Baggy Book) leveled book will be sent home with your child DAILY. Please have your child read the book (or one story from the books that contain more than one story) at least two-three times and then sign the included form. You may supplement your child’s reading using books at home, library books, etc. to fulfill the minimum requirement of 20-30 minutes of reading per day. These are meant to be easier than your students level to work on their sight word and fluency. 

2- Reading 20 minutes per day.  Track your daily reading minutes on the homework tracker sheet.  Make reading every single day a priority.  Ask your students questions using the retell rope visual below. 

Dear Parents, I apologize with the link for EPIC, after further review and speaking with their education specialist, sadly, this program was only offered as an in class program.  I am always on the look out for fun and new programs for the kids to explore while they learn.  Please have your students read their library books and baggy books.  There is no timing sheet this week. 

3-There is no daily reading homework and reading timing sheet this week.  
Please have your student read their baggy books as well as any other books of their choosing and have them use the re-tell rope visual below to have them tell you about the book they read.  Please initial on the reading timings section of the homework tracker the days that they complete this task.  

Re-tell the story with as much detail as possible, and in your own words, to a parent, using the guidelines described below:
