1-2. Math Homework:
Monday Lesson 10: Ways to Make 9
Tuesday Lesson 11: Ways to Make 10
Wednesday Lesson 12: Find the Missing Parts
Thursday Lesson 13: True and False
Worksheets: Please look in the front of your child’s green folder on Monday for worksheets with concepts that will be 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. Please check your child’s answers for accuracy!Please print off the “two’s” timings again this week from the Fluency Timing link below. Just do one half sheet/day. You shouldn’t have to print off more than 2 pages/4 timings. I would suggest that you place it in a plastic sheet protector, then have your child practice these facts repeatedly using a dry-erase marker. Time how long it takes to finish and record their best time and score each day at the top of the paper (Again, I have 2/page) attach and return it on Friday. If your child frustrates too easily because it takes too long to complete, have them practice for 2-3 minutes (you can be the judge) and write down how many they finished in that time. By the end of 1st grade, the target goal is to finish the timings in 1 minute and 15 seconds, with 90% accuracy (23 out of 25 problems correct). Encourage your child to keep improving on their own score, rather than expecting them to reach the target goal yet. We have a whole year to reach it through consistent practice!

I love to Read- 3. Reading 20 minutes/5 days or a total of 100 minutes/week:
RECORD YOUR READING ON YOUR “BOOK IT” READING LOG located in your green folder.
Parents Please update/transfer your students reading this month to the calendar I placed in your student’s folder. DO NOT remove the calendar except to record your student’s reading minutes.
WE are going to participate in the Pizza Hut “Book It” Reading Program. I love this program for so many reasons least of all are ALL the “Free Pizzas” that can be earned just by reading their 100 minutes.
***There are SEVERAL SOURCES for reading: Books from HOME LIBRARIES or the PUBLIC LIBRARY and our ON LINE READING program Raz-Kids. Our login is: dvella0 (that’s a zero)
***CHECK OUT THIS SITE FOR BOOK ON LINE READ BY FAMOUS PEOPLE It’s fantastic!!! http://www.storylineonline.net/
Don’t forget about reading comprehension! Understanding what you are reading is just as important as being a fluent reader!!! PLEASE use these Re-Tell Ropes whenever you are reading with your student checking for understanding. THIS HELPS STUDENTS PREPARE FOR OUR LANGUAGE ARTS WORK ON FRONT ROW AND DIBELS TEST COMPREHENSION.
4. Phonics and High Frequency Words
High Frequency Words
Here is the link to print our weekly spelling homework form: New Weekly Spelling Homework **Remember if you choose not to print off and use this form you need to make sure your student is writing each word and the sentence daily on paper, and that all writing is nice and neat as well as organized like the form. the papers get turned in on Friday for credit.
Our next spelling test will be Friday, September 23rd.
NEW WORDS:
in
is
that
it
was
PHONICS FOCUS WORDS:
fix
win
lid
SENTENCE:
Nan and Sam are friends.
Your student needs to write the spelling words in the 1st 5 boxes and the 3 Phonics words in the following 3 boxes. There should be plenty of space to write the sentence once on the 2 lines provided at the bottom of each page on the form.
Please take a few minutes to review what your student has written as well as how. I am VERY picky about where the letters go, and how they are formed and that there is a space between words. Your student should NEVER BEGIN ANY LETTER FROM THE BOTTOM!!!! ***NO BOTTOM DWELLERS!!! It’s so important that students form good writing habits now. Bad habits are VERY hard to break!
