Homework for September 17th-21st

Homework this week is due on Friday, September 21st:

1- Math Homework: ***Parents, please WRITE YOUR SIGNATURE on the math homework, indicating you did this activity with your child for credit*** Please check out the “Optional” extra math practice for more fun games and activities for your kiddo.

A letter titled “Dear Family” will be sent home in your child’s green take-home-folder on Monday. It provides an activity to do together. Please read the letter and invite your child to share what they know about the concept by doing the activity together.

*These are due on Friday. When students return this letter with their name and a parent signature (indicating a parent read it and did the activity with their child), the student will be given star dust.

Optional: for extra math practice, play any of these Math Games and Activities
I am also going to send home a couple papers home that have a math bingo game that you can do as a family. It is NOT homework and doesn’t need to be returned. We will also be learning how to play this game in class later this week.

2- Daily Reading Fluency (available in the Green Homework folders). I am sending home a “Fast and Fluent” page for your student to practice reading this week. There are 10 words and 10 sentences that your student needs to read daily. Have your student do 3- 1 minute timings each day just on the sentences, then record how many words they read in each one minute timing, NOT how long it took them to read it 3 times. Let me know if you have any questions. The time they spend reading can count toward their 20minutes. The goal is to get more words read correctly each day with each timing.

These sentences contain words that focus on the phonics concept/sounds we will be working on that week. They also help students with what correct sentence structure should look like. This week it’s words with the short /i/ vowel sound. There are also a couple High Frequency words we will be reading and talking about on the list.

***Please review the High Frequency words from Unit 1 Week 1 and Week 2 in the ringed high frequency cards you got at back to school night. These are words that your student will be reading frequently from now until they are 102…LOL

3- Reading 20 minutes per day. BIG OOPS!!! Please DO record your students reading minutes each day/week on their reading calendars located in their Green Homework folder. Reading comprehension strategy: Help your child identify key details (important parts in the story) in the order they occurred.
