HOMEWORK CHANGES!!!!!
With us being at half year, we are going to change homework just a little bit, and focus more on the literary skills we are learning in class. Please read so you understand what your child is doing.
Math:
Play Prodigy at least 3 days this week! Remember to go into the battles for the majority of the time you are in.
READING
Reading and applying the literary skills we learn in class is imperative in becoming better readers. With this in mind, I still require every child to read 20 minutes every night. After reading, please have your child respond to the questions on the homework document in google classroom. To do this, you will go to classroom.google.com. Their login is their first name.lastname@qackids.org. Their password is their computer password followed by rams. (Your child knows this password because they use it everyday). Remember to fill out the library Google Doc on the home page(You’ve been amazing at this!) and record how many minutes you read for the week. Please make sure your child clicks the TURN IN tab on the top right hand corner at the end of the week so they get credit for their work. Please continue to read every night for at least 20 minutes. I will also be asking for volunteers 3 times a week to give a book talk on what they’ve been reading. I will introduce both of these changes in class on Monday.
You DO NOT have to fill out the reading and sort log anymore! I will give credit for reading for the week from the google classroom document being filled out. Thanks for being flexible! I always tell the kids…Blessed are the flexible because they will never be bent out of shape:)
SPELLING:
We will NO LONGER be requiring word sorts at home. You are welcome to practice the words at home with your child but we will be doing all spelling work in centers and class. This week’s words are: Purple1-27 Sheet1
Remember, you do not have to print or sort these!
