Okay!!!  We are finally having the students do the Words Their Way sorts in their leveled groups. Yay!  I will have the students grouped, and they will know their groups on Monday.  The groups will be numbered #1, 2, 3, 4, and 5.  Their group’s sort will be linked to the homework assignment for the week.  The homework will look like this for the rest of the year.

Monday- Sort words by headings indicated
Group #1-yellow sort 7
Group #2-yellow sort 13
Group #3-yellow sort 25
Group #4-yellow sort 31
Group #5-yellow sort 36

Tuesday-ABC Sort
Reteach_Worksheet_Patterns_in_the_Addition_Table

Wednesday-Sort words by number of letters in each word
Reteach_Worksheet_Addition_Patterns

Thursday-Speed Sort

Friday- Turn in weekly Homework.  Please attach the Reading and Sort Sign-Off/Accountability sheet.  The administration wants the parents to actually sign-off that the students are completing each sort every night of the week.  I will combine the Reading Log and the Sort Sign-Off onto one page.  Cut it in half and use one half for one week.  You can cut it and attach it to the homework on Friday.  
Sort and Reading Log

Sorry the Math Homework was weird!  I updated everything this morning!!!  Everything should be printable now.

I hope everyone noticed in the disclosure that the students are expected to pass off one monthly poem for a grade.  I send the poems home with them at the beginning of the months and post a picture of the poems on the blog.  Please start working with your child on the September poems.  They will need to recite them from memory in front of the class.  This is so good for the students!  I know they can do it.  

Also, every student must complete a Great Brain Report each month from a Chapter Book that they are reading at school/home.  The students will need to turn them into me by the end of the month, and they will also need to present them to the class.  So, they need to make sure they can read it independently and practice their report before they turn it in before the month is over.  Thank you so much for all of your support!

FYI: As a grade level, we decided to do a class sort again due to the short week.  

Tuesday- green sort 2
Sort words into vowel patterns (headings)
rounding-nearest-ten_1

Wednesday-rounding-nearest-hundred_2

Thursday-Reteach_Worksheet_Addition_Properties

Friday- Turn homework in with Reading Log

I have had some parents ask some questions in regard to homework.  Just so you know, the students are expected to complete all of their Words Their Way sorts each night, but they do not have to write the sorts down.  They do that in the classroom regularly.  I trust that when you (as parents)  sign the Reading Log , you are being honest.  It should just be a quick review at night.  If the students are doing that quick sort each night, it will strengthen the phonics patterns they are working on for the week.  Thank you so much for all of your help and support!

Welcome to the first week of homework this year!!!  If you need any explanation of the homework listed below for the week, go to the “Homework” tab on the blog (up above).
