All Math, Spelling and Science Homework is Due Friday, September 22nd.
Reading Homework will be checked on Monday, September 25th.
1. Math Homework:
Monday Lesson 13: True and False Statements
Tuesday Lesson : Addition Concepts Chapter Review and Test (Please review addition facts with your student)
Wednesday Lesson 1: Subtraction Stories
Thursday Lesson 2: Model Subtraction
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. NEW Math Fluency Timings: This week, we are working on “Add Zero”. Place your timing in the plastic sheet protector (included in your green folder), use a dry-erase marker to practice a one 1 minute timing each day, Monday-Wednesday. On Thursday have a parent time you while you complete all 20 problems with pencil (write directly on the paper this time), Record your time and score on the paper and turn it in with your homework packet 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).]
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.
***There are SEVERAL SOURCES for reading: Books from HOME LIBRARIES or the PUBLIC LIBRARY and the “Baggy Books” which went home with most of my students Friday. If your student didn’t bring home a book, look for one on Monday. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU SEND YOUR STUDENT’S “BAGGIE BOOK” TO SCHOOL EVERYDAY.
***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. Reading Fluency Passages:
Please read over each sentence several times with your student so they become familiar with the words. Have them practice sounding out words that follow “Regular Rules” and then stop and think about the words that are “Red or Rule Breakers.” Time them for ONE, one-two minute timing to see how far they can read on their own. Their accuracy/fluency should increase each time.
Write done how long you timed them (ie 1.3 minutes) then circle the last work they read each night. Encourage them to read further each night when timing. I am only requiring ONE, one-two minute timing/night for now. AS they become more comfortable, confident, successful readers, I will have you time them up to the three times/night with the idea that they will eventually be able to completely read each passage in one minute.
***You may count the timings toward your student’s required weekly reading minutes.***
5. Spelling/Phonics and High Frequency Words
Last week we worked on words with the short /i/ sound. This week we will be reviewing the short /i/ and short /a/ sounds as well learning about beginning consonant l-blends such as black, clap, flag, play, and slip.
On the back of your child’s spelling paper, help your child sort words with the l-blend by writing words in a column with the same blend, then help your child add more words to each column.
Parents, PLEASE, PLEASE make sure your student is writing each word correctly on the back of their spelling paper, and that all writing is nice, neat as well as organized.
Our spelling test will be Friday, September 22nd.
NEW WORDS:
clip
flip
slip
flag
black
plan
REVIEW WORDS:
win
sit
VOCABULARY WORDS:
be
pull
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!
6. I Love Science!
Your student should have their “Moon Journal” in their green homework folder. Please help your student with this SUPER COOL science project, by reminding them to view, then record the changes/phases of the moon through September 19th. I also have a link to the moon rise, set and phases on the bottom right hand and side of my blog. It says 2016 but there is a place to change the date once you get on the site. HAPPY MOON GAZING!
