Homework

Reading
Of course, reading is the most important part of our homework! All of us should be reading 20 minutes a night, 5 nights a week. Please print off the Sort and Reading Log to record how many minutes your child read each night. Please sign and return it on Friday.

Spelling
This week the students will be working on long a sounds with the /ai/ and /ay/ patterns again. The words are just a little bit longer, with the suffix /-ed/ added to the end, or compound words with these patterns. Please print off this sort: blue-book-lesson-3-sort-pfr
The students will use this sort to practice the indicated patterns. Quest has asked us to have the students type their spelling word sort each night, but I haven’t trained the students yet, so they are just sorting them this week. They will be expected to type them in the next few weeks.

Monday-Sort words by indicated patterns ( /ai/, /ay/, and /oddballs/-all other patterns)
Tuesday-ABC Sort (Sort the words by initial letters.)
Wednesday- Speed Sort (Sort the words as quickly as they can.)
Thursday-Glue sort (Glue the words down in the indicated vowel pattern.)
**Please make a note on the Sort and Reading Log that a sort was done each night.**
