We have three weeks to accomplish our December Goals and it’s going to fly by.
In the next three weeks we will be working on Parent Gifts, memorizing multiplication facts, learning the rest of the lower case cursive letters, editing our writing and working on a fun Grinch project.
We will be starting to pass of our multiplication facts for the first time (we pass them off a variety of ways and numbers of times) this week. As we pass them off the first time, we will also be filling out a glyph (picture) that we will use to graph and take data from. In the end, we will have a Sundae Party (February 14th) where we will build a sundae to celebrate knowing our multiplication facts. The students will have 1 minute to pass off the facts for each number group (Example: We will start with 2′s, then do 5′s etc).

Sorts – Please print the words out and have them pick from the following categories to do nightly at home: (1 sort each night)
1. Sort your words into categories -Always do this one on Monday night and have your child explain the rule to you. The rest of the week, your child may choose what he/she would like to do for the rest of the week.
2. Turn the word sorts face down. Time your child to see how long it takes them to sort them into the correct categories. (You may only choose this sort to do once a week)
3. Write the words 3x each.
4. Write the words in ABC order
5. Give your child a practice spelling test.
6. Play ball – Have your child grab someone to play catch and let the fun begin. The person helping your child will say the word to him/her and he/she will spell the work back to you. Every time your child throws the ball have them say one letter of the word. Continue until your child has spelled the word. If your child makes a mistake, correctly spell the word for them, and have them start over.
7. Speed Sort- Time your child 3 times to see how fast they can sort their words.
8. Glue sort- Have your child glue the sort on a piece of paper.
9. Syllable Sort- Sort the words according to how many syllables they have.
Math –
These practice sheets have more problems than I normally assign so I will only give 2 out for the week. Please have your child complete them both before the end of the week to turn in on Friday. Thanks!
