I LOVE MATH!!
1-My Math Homework for the Week:
Monday Lesson 5: Use Near Doubles to Add
Tuesday Lesson 6: Problem Solving- Act It Out
Wednesday Lesson 7: Make 10 to Add
Thursday Lesson7: Review Make 10 to Add
Worksheets: 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 check your child’s answers for accuracy!
- Practice your fluency timing repeatedly: “Addition Mixed” and introduce “Subtracting from 0,1,2,3, and 4” when they are ready to move on. Record your best time and score each day. [By the end of first grade, the target goal is to finish all 25 problems in 1 minute and 15 seconds, with 90% accuracy (23 out of 25 problems correct).] Click here for extra timings: Fluency Timings
I love to read!
3- One Minute Reading Fluency. Lesson #4 ONLY from this link: Phonics Fluency Stories
This daily one-minute timed fluency reading will help your student become a fluent reader. It will also count as reading minutes. Time your student for one minute. Record the number of words they were able to read CORRECTLY in one minute.
*Want to save paper? Have your student read the passage online, then simply record their CORRECT words read/minute each day on their spelling homework form.
4- Reading: 20 minutes/day or a total of 100 minutes/week:
RECORD YOUR READING MINUTES ON THE “BOOK IT” READING LOG located in your student’s green folder.
***There are several sources for reading: “Reading for all Learners” also known as”Baggy Books,” books from the school library, books from home, as well as the public library. Students may also use our online reading program Raz-Kids. Our class Raz-Kids login is: dvella0 (That’s a zero)
- I know you are probably SSSSSOOOO tired of seeing this “BLIP” about reading fluency and comprehension, but I can’t stress it enough!!!
