Wednesday Lesson 2: Tens
Thursday Lesson 3: Count by Tens Using Dimes
1. 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.2. Fluency Timings: This week, we are working on “Subtraction by Counting Next Door Neighbors and Near Neighbors ”.
With your timing in the plastic sheet protector (included in your GREEN folder), use a dry-erase marker to practice MONDAY-THURSDAY. On THURSDAY, have a parent time you while you complete all 20 problems with pencil (write directly on the paper this time). Work on 1 timing each day, Monday-Thursday. On Thursday, record your time and score on the paper, THEN attach it to your student’s homework at the end of the week. [The target goal is to finish all 20 problems in 1 minute, with 90% accuracy (18 out of 20 problems correct).]Use your counting back skills to COUNT BACK 1, 2, or 3. Start with the biggest number and count back to see how many “Doors Down” the other number/neighbir is. This only works for Subtraction and when the numbers are with in 2 or 3!
Example: 11-9=2 Start with 11 then COUNT DOWN/BACK two neighbors. You should have 2 fingers up which is much easier
I Love to read!
3. Reading 20 minutes/5 days or a total of 100 minutes/week.
***Reading comprehension strategy: Help your child read a story and think of a title for it.
Then ask your child to RETELL the STORY IN THEIR OWN WORDS. The DETAILS need to be IN ORDER from the story.UNDERSTANDING what you are reading is just as important as how fast you read (FLUENCY)!!!
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 AND DIBELS TEST COMPREHENSION.
4. Reading Fluency Passages:
*****NEW THIS WEEK***
Please read over the Martin Luther King Jr. fluency passage several times with your student. POINT OUT THE WORDS YOUR STUDENT KNOWS and then GO OVER THE ONES THAT ARE TRICKY.
Have them sound out words that follow “Regular Rules.” Time them for ONE, 1 minute timing each day to see how far they can read on their own.
Their accuracy/fluency should increase each time they read the sentences.
***Write down how long you timed them (ie 1minute) circle the last word they read, then record the number of words read correctly next to the minutes timed ON THE BACK OF THE PASSAGE.
***You may count the timings toward your student’s required weekly reading minutes.***
5. Spelling/Phonics and High Frequency Words: This week’s phonic sounds are /00/ and /u/ as in look and bush.
NEW PHONICS FOCUS WORDS:
book
look
cook
took
hood
wood
REVIEW WORDS:

VOCABULARY HF WORDS:

**Please take a few minutes to review what your student writes as well as how. I am VERY picky about where letters are placed, and how they are formed. There should always be 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!
