Reminders:
*I forgot to give out their blue folders on Thursday because they had library. But I have all of their math homework and new fluency ready to go home on Monday. 

*Book orders are due by October 28th. These are great for Christmas gifts we will also have a book order in November as well if you forget. 

*If your child does not have a black sock for an eraser please send them to school with one next week. Lots of students do not have one and lots of tissues are being used daily as erasers instead of a sock. Any sock with work, black is best. Thanks!

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

Each week, print out the  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. 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 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.

• 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. PLEASE write the sort on the back of the homework tracker. 
• 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.
