  • Math Fluency Timings: Click Math Timings Tracker ( I have highlighted the box yellow on the one your child is at) 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: 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, count back, or know it by heart. Print off Harder Math Timings 10-20.  Here is the tracker to know where your child is at Math Timings Tracker. Time them still for 1 minute 15 seconds. Please let me know if you need help with anything.

Homework for Week February 12-16th

Homework this week is due on FRIDAY, February 16th:

PRINT THIS Homework Tracker 

  • Worksheets: Please look in your child’s green folder on Monday 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: 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, count back, or know it by heart. Print off Harder Math Timings 10-20.  Here is the tracker to know where your child is at Timings 10-20Time them still for 1 minute 15 seconds. Please let me know if you need help with anything.  
**LANGUAGE ARTS HOMEWORK** 

We continue working on the -i, -y, igh, -ie word families this week. We are working on organization, open syllables, and capitalizing proper nouns.  Fantastic and Nonfiction will be our focus this week.  Point of View is the comprehension skill we will be focusing on and being able to visualize is our comprehension strategy.
