I LOVE MATH!!

1-My Math Homework for the Week:

• Worksheets: 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 check your child’s answers for accuracy!

• Practice your fluency timing repeatedly:  FROM NOW ON…ONLY TIME YOUR STUDENT FOR 1 MINUTE 15 SECONDS!!! I WANT THEM TO GET USED TO WORKING WITHIN THAT TIME CONSTRAINT… THEN, Record their score each day. We are going to be repeating some past math timings, so, please watch carefully to see which one we are going to be working on each week.

WATERFORD:  You should have all received an email, from WEL support, around the 12th of January. Waterford,  a L.A,program, covers many aspects spelling, reading  and writing. We use it in our first grade classes on a daily basis.

FRONT ROW: While this is not a new program, it is new to our class. Friday your student took a FRONT ROW pretest  for WORD STUDY. They are  all leveled, and ready to go. Basically,  they will be practicing word sorts according to certain basic phonics/spelling rules . They need to enter their first and last name, as well as  OUR CLASS CODE: vellau
 
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns with any of these programs. I will do my best to answer your questions, and if I can’t, will do some research to find them.
