Homework

I apologize for all the confusion with homework. From now on every Friday I will post what needs to be done for the following weeks homework. For this week, there are 5 components required for weekly homework:

1. Reading (20-30 minutes every day!)
2. Word Sorts
3. Spelling
4. Math
5. Animal Report

Each week, print out the Weekly Homework Tracker which is found here or under the “Homework Form” tab above. This form does NOT need to be printed or turned in for credit during weeks that we are doing only READING homework.

Your child is required to read 20 minutes every night. This could include Raz Kids, reading books at home or our fluency passage. Here is the link to your child’s Fluency Recording sheet. Your child has a number click on your child’s number (at the bottom of the spreadsheet) to record their reading. Your child should know their number.

Each week, print your student’s assigned Word Sort by clicking on the appropriate link below.  Use the Word Sort for the following activities:
  • Monday: Print, cut, and sort your words with an adult and explain this week’s rule. Sort each word under the correct guide word. Some guide words have a C or V combination on them – C stands for consonant and V stands for vowel.
  • Tuesday: Practice the sort and write it on the homework tracker. 
  • Wednesday: Blind Sort (Lay down the guide words and then read the rest of the words aloud without showing them to your child. Your child must indicate where the word goes without seeing it.
  • Thursday: Speed Sort: Time your students three times doing their word sorts and record it on the homework tracker.

  • Study the following “High Frequency Words” using any method you wish in order to prepare for the weekly spelling test on Fridays. There are no review words this week. 
  • There is a list of recommended spelling study activities that you can access BY CLICKING HERE for Spelling Word Activities, but, again, you may use any method you wish.

  • Complete the My Math homework pages and staple them to the Homework Form. 
  • Please also practice math facts regularly by utilizing any of the math activities that you can access BY CLICKING HERE for Math Activities.  These math facts activities do not need to be documented for homework credit – they are simply a resource to help you practice math fluency on a regular basis. 
Lastly, this week they have an animal report that they should fill out the paper I sent home and draw a picture on a black white sheet of paper and bring to school on Friday. They will be presenting these to the whole class. 

Hopefully this can help clear up any confusion. If you printed off the other homework tracker previously posted that is fine. This one posted above I simplified to use from now on. Thanks for all your patience with me as I am figuring this out too.
