Then draw a line where they end and they will start there the next day. They should get in about 3 or 4 timings each side. If you have questions let me know.
  • Get on and do Xtra Math practice. *Practice your math facts (addition and subtraction) regularly by utilizing any of the math facts activities listed here: Math Facts Activities (You might try activity #7: Front Row Ed Fact Practice if you haven’t already.  Students who don’t like being timed are really liking this one!  Our class code is tcri3k).  The XTRA Math sign on’s are located on the Math Fact Activities Purple Link Underlined.

**All homework is due on Thursday of this week.  
This week, only the following is due: 
1. Reading Homework 
2. the Leprechaun Trap Project (DUE WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16TH), and 
3. the Heredity Photo Project (DUE WEDNESDAY, MARCH 16TH) 

are required.  

It is not necessary to fill out a Homework Form for this week’s homework.  Please complete the following activities:

We are preparing for a possible visit from leprechauns!  Please help your child with the project as described on the worksheet that your child brought home on Friday, March 11th.  The leprechaun trap is due back in class on WEDNESDAY, March 16th.


If your children are adopted or in a blended family, your pictures are most welcome!  My own children are adopted and I bring in their pictures to show that even though we don’t share the same genetic traits, we share the same traits that make us humans.  Even biological families often don’t look like each other and it gives us lots of examples to talk about.

Heredity
In our next science unit, we will be exploring the similarities and differences in characteristics when comparing offspring to parents and siblings to siblings.  This is especially fun for the students if they can bring in pictures of themselves and their families.  If you are able to send in a family photo, or a one page collage of the members of your family in a protective plastic sleeve by WEDNESDAY, March 16th, I will hang them up for the students to observe, but not touch.  Bonus points if you have a picture of yourself around your child’s age! :) 

If your children are adopted or in a blended family, your pictures are most welcome!  Even biological families often don’t look like each other and it gives us lots of examples to talk about.

A Reading for All Learners (Book Buddy) 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 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. 

It is not necessary to fill out a Homework Form for this week’s homework.  Simply initialing the form that comes home with your child’s Book Buddy is sufficient.

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).

This week, only reading homework is required.  It is not necessary to fill out a Homework Form for this week’s homework.  Homework folders will not be sent home this week, only the “Book Buddy” or Baggy Books.  Please complete the following reading activities:

A Reading for All Learners (Book Buddy) 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 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. 

It is not necessary to fill out a Homework Form for this week’s homework.  Simply initialing the form that comes home with your child’s Book Buddy is sufficient.
