Missing or Nonworking Headphones

http://qacblogs.org/ronda.hills/files/2016/07/headphones.jpgWe use headphones EVERY day for computers and iPads, but we have several students that no longer have working headphones. This is creating sad and frustrated students.

We do have a limited number of classroom headphones that students can use but there are not enough for everyone that needs headphones at this time.

Please ask your student if their headphones are working.  If they do not have working headphones, we encourage you to get new headphones. I found some headphones at Walmart for $4.89.

Homework for January 22nd-25th

1- Math Homework: Lesson 17 Understanding Tens
  • A letter titled “Dear Family” will be sent home in your child’s green take-home-folder (Monday).  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.IMG_0628
    • PLEASE HAVE STUDENTS SHOW THEIR WORK   
    • ***Parents, I need YOUR SIGNATURE on the math homework as well as your student’s, 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 also PLEASE have your student work on ways to make ten.                                                                                                                                                    
    2-Fluency Passage:
    YOU DO NOT NEED TO RETURN THE FLUENCY PASSAGEIMG_0615      
    1st- Using a yellow crayon or high lighter, have your student highlight each word in the passage they can read correctly without any help FLUENTLY.
    2nd- Go back through the passage and have a “Good Conversation” about the words they were unsure of or didn’t know. Talk about what strategies good readers use to problem solve/figure out the word. Here are a few suggestions…CVC if there is only one vowel, it USUALLY make the short vowel sound, CVCe-is there an /e/ at the end of the word that makes the first vowel say it’s name. Is there a vowel team that follows the rule…When vowel teams go a walking, the first one USUALLY does the talking  such as ee, ea, ai, oa, etc. Are there words within words like “ants” at the end of elephants…”and” in the word land…Go over the fact that they can skip the word and use the content of the sentence to help them figure out what the word is.
    3rd- Lastly, Time them for ONE, one minute timing each day.  Their accuracy/fluency should increase each time they read the sentences.
    WE are looking for how many words they are reading correctly out of how many they read and then what they can retell.

    3.-*NEW* Language Arts RAZ KIDS
  • As a first grade, we have decided to add RAZ KIDS  for our LA homework. Please watch our BLOG and DOJO to know when the student accounts are activated. I’m so sorry for the delay with getting the kids on Raz Kids. I have had some issues with my account, and have been working with A-Z learning to rectify the issue. I can now access my account. I am in the middle of setting the kids reading level etc. I should have it up and running tomorrow.
  • Each Friday I will pull an online report showing student usage for the week and their comprehension scores for the quizzes they have taken.
                                     
    • This weeks PHONICS FOCUS: We will focus on  /oo/ and /u/ sounds  spelled good, stood and pull.

    • Below is a bigger overview of this weeks LA focus:Unit 3 Week 5 Parent Newsletter
