Homework for October 8th-12th

Homework this week is due on Friday, October 12th:

1- Math Homework: A letter titled “Dear Family” will be sent home in your child’s green take-home-folder tomorrow (Monday). This week’s math activity is a review of the same math activity from last week. Please have your student review it as the students still need some extra work on it. 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. If you need a replacement, here is the letter below:
***Parents, please WRITE YOUR SIGNATURE on the math homework, indicating you did this activity with your child**

*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 earn “Star Dust”.

Optional: for extra math practice, play any of these Math Fact Activities 2018

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 on the words and sentences then, record how many words they read CORRECTLY 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 goal is to get more words read correctly each day with each timing. The time they spend reading can count toward their 20minutes.

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 that focus on the short /o/ sound as in hot, log and top. There are also a couple High Frequency words we will be reading and talking about.

***Please review the High Frequency words from Unit 1 Weeks 1-5 on 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. Please DO record your students reading minutes each day/week on their reading calendars located in their Green Homework folder.
