Math lessons this week:
Monday October 19th Lesson 12: Numbers to 120
Tuesday October 20th Lesson 13: Count to 120
Wednesday October 21st Lesson 14: Read and Write Numbers to 120
Thursday we will be reviewing and preparing for our Chapter 5 test that will be given next Monday the 26th.
Homework will be due Thursday the 22nd. Do every other problem evens or odds.
This is the end of the quarter so all missing work must be turned in by then for credit.
This has been a tough chapter for all the 1st grade classes. There are so many ways to help your student even if they struggle. Make sure they aren’t tired when doing homework, that they aren’t hungry. Set up a routine that they are comfortable with, Sometimes short mini homework sessions are better than long ones especially when they are struggling. Be creative when practicing concepts and doing homework…make what they are doing support real life situations. Talk about when and why they need to understand what they are learning and how you use it in your life for example when buying things at the store, or when figuring out candy pieces for class parties LOL.
Have your student practice writing numbers everyday. If students start to practice writing numbers now, it will be so easy for them to write to 120 by the end of the year. They feel so proud and confident when they master even the smallest tasks like writing 0-20 correctly!!!

SENTENCE
They are on the rug.
SPELLING SENTENCE 7 POINTS POSSIBLE ON TEST (1 point for each correctly spelled word, 1 point for beginning the sentence with an uppercase letter, and 1 point for the correct punctuation mark at the end of the sentence.)
I noticed that another 1st grade class had the High Frequency words list by 5 words not 6. I have adopted their list schedule as it makes more sense and fits our schedule and the kids opportunity for practice in class. Please have your student practice reading and writing them nightly along with the sentence.
I am also including a Fluency aspect that needs to be done daily and will count for High Frequency Homework
Timed fluency practice worth 20 points. Click here: Timed Fluency Practice
This daily one-minute timed fluency reading will help your student become a fluent reader. It will also count toward your 20 reading minutes. Time your student for one minute. Record the number of words they were able to read in one minute.
The Fluency practice sheet needs to be turned in Thursday along with the Math homework.
