YOU DO NOT NEED TO PRINT OFF EVERYTHING, YOU ARE WELCOME TO HAVE YOUR CHILD READ PASSAGES ONLINE. YOU CAN ALSO USE SHEET PROTECTORS AND DRY ERASE MATH TIMINGS TO SAVE ON PAPER. The homework tracker is for tracking minutes, number of math facts completed, and the phonics fluency story timing. 

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

Each week, print out the homework-tracker which is found here  This form does NOT need to be printed or turned in for credit during weeks that we are doing ONLY READING homework. PLEASE right your child’s name at the top of this tracker. 






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 phonics-fluency-stories sheet. Please print Lesson 5 and have your child read it each night. Time them for 1 minute and have them read as many words as they can. If they get to the bottom they will go back to the top and continue reading until the 1 minute is up. Soon I will have some students doing harder passages based on where they get with reading buddies coming up. This is just to start getting into a routine. Attach this to your homework tracker. 

Your child should now have a fluency passage in their blue folder. If not I sent one home with them this week without the blue folder. PLEASE make sure your child is bringing their blue folder everyday to school. I will switch out passages weekly if they return them. These passages are another resource for reading but I am asking that you have them read it at least 3 times a week.

They need to be timed for 1 minute and then using their retell ropes (in back of sheet protector) to tell you as much as they can about the story. I do not have extra retell ropes so please have your child keep track of it. After the week I will switch out their passages and get a new one. We practiced this three times today so they should know how to do it. You do not need to record the timing anywhere.

Here is the word sort to print : red-sort-9 

For this sort they will match the picture with the word. They need to say each word out loud while sorting. 
Each week, print your student’s assigned Word Sort by clicking on the appropriate link above.  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 back of 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 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.

Reports are due this Friday September 23rd! 

To get the kids excited about the zoo we are going to do an animal report. I had the kids pick an animal they could find at the zoo when we go.  Below is the animal your child chose. 

Click here to learn about your animal on the Hogle Zoo website: 
Meet the Hogle Zoo Animals. 
Here is another fun animal website: Zooborns 

Encourage your child to use their best handwriting. The reports will be shared with the class on Friday, September 23rd. This will give them a chance to find their animal at the zoo as well.  Your child may find it beneficial to practice reading their report to you prior to reading it for our class.

Hey I have had some really good questions about homework that I should clarify. 

1. For word sorts they do not have guide words and won’t for a while. If they have guide words I will let you know. I will let you know of rules and oddballs. 

2. They just need to match the picture with the word and write it in the boxes on Tuesday. Even though there are extra boxes I told them just to make sure they were right by each other. 

3. If your child passed off their 3 times addition facts in class I will email you the next timing sheet for them to work on.

This is to help you keep track of everything that is required each night for homework this week. 

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

Each week, print out the homework-tracker which is found here  This form does NOT need to be printed or turned in for credit during weeks that we are doing ONLY READING homework. PLEASE right your child’s name at the top of this tracker.

This week on the homework syllabus says only Reading homework. Here is the reading tracker. Weekly-Reading-Log. Homework will be due Friday September 9th. 

Here is the class password to get onto RAZ-KIDS if your child would like to read online as well. Go to questac.org, click on for students, then student links. Under there find RAZ-KIDS. Then put in my password qbischoff and have your child find their name. 

However I would like to add a little bit of math to get them practicing at home as well. 


                                                   Math Timings
Attatched is the math timing sheet we use in class. If you will time your child for 1 minute 15 seconds. They should be able to eventually complete all 25 problems in that amount of time. Please do this two times each night. 

Three’s Timing
                                           
Have your child also complete the 3 math pages this week, one each night. Only have them do all the odd problems. These were our math lessons from last week so it should all be review. They should have no problem doing this on their own. If they seem to struggle with it please let me know. 

                                                   Prodigy Math
For this week here is also an OPTIONAL online math game that your child can do at their own pace. Once you help your child practice logging on, they should be able to do it themselves. Especially if you write down their login information and keep it by the computer. From what I understand this is like a video game but the problems get harder based on their answers. Have your child practice for 5-10 minutes or so.

This upcoming week for homework we will only have reading homework. Please print out the reading tracker below and read with your child 20 minutes every night! Homework will be due every Friday. So please record any reading done the weekend before homework is due.

For example this weeks homework will be due on Friday September 2nd. So if I were tracking my reading I would put this weekends reading the August 27-28th on that reading log. Please have your child’s reading log in their blue folder and I will collect them. 

I will hopefully have either a reading passage or a baggy book ready for your child to take home starting either Monday or Tuesday to give them something different to read at home. I will post more about that as soon as I get them ready. Thanks! 

Weekly-Reading-Log

Here Weekly-Reading-Log is the reading homework log for this week. You only need to cut off one portion of the log and you can keep the others for other weeks. Your child should be reading at minimum 20 minutes every day. For now please just read books from home. This first time I will count it if you are reading to your child as well. Please have them read by themselves but you may also count time that you read to them this first time.

I will usually have a reading passage in their homework folder for them to be timed on and for them to read at home, but I haven’t got to read one on one with the students yet. This should hopefully be done this week, if not next. We will also get Raz-Kids up and running then they can go online and read books their as well. 

Happy Reading! 🙂 

Please email me with questions.
