Here is homework for the week SEPTEMBER 21st-28th 

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

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.

• 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.

Sorry I will have this homework thing down by next week! 

Here is your child’s list of high frequency words for next week that they will fill out and practice on their homework tracker. 

1. was
2. that
3. it
4. is
5. for
6.you

Next week I will have it all on at once so it is less confusing. I apologize please let me know if you have questions! Now they should have everything for next week!  Have a good weekend!

 

I sent home some of our homework for next week with your child today. This included a math packet and an animal report. I will send homework home, and post the rest of the homework every Friday for your convience, however homework should be done over the course of the following week. Please check the homework section of my blog to get all of their homework for the week there are instructions on there as well to help! 

Fluency Passages: I had VERY FEW recordings on the fluency recording sheet for this week. Please read the fluency passage with your child, their are instructions under the language arts homework section of the blog. Find the fluency recording link and please log the information down so I know how often they are reading it. I will change our their passages according to this. If I don’t see that they are reading it they will be stuck with the same passage. As a courteousy while we are all learning and getting used to it I changed out those fluency passages that came back to me today. However, A LOT of students left their blue folders at home. PLEASE make sure they bring their blue folders every day and bring back their passages each Friday so I can switch them out for the next week. If you need help with recording their fluency minutes please let me know I’d be happy to show you!

Math Homework: Our math homework will go along with what I am teaching. The math homework sent home with your child today is not anything I have taught them. I will teach lesson 5 on Monday and then they will need to practice the odd problems of their math worksheet lesson 5 that evening. Then lesson 6 on Tuesday and they will practice and so on and so forth. If this does not make sense please let me know. I only want them to practice a few problems each day. 

Animal Reports: Your child picked an animal that they wish do to a report on. They need to fill out that report page and then draw a picture of their animal. This is due next Friday. If your child forgot what animal they choose here is the list. Feel free to use any source to get your information, including: internet, encyclopedia, other books, etc. 

Zebra: Kiyley
Peacock: Marley, Fallon
Lion: Sarah
Sand Cat: Kayliegh

Great news: we are happy to announce that our field trip to the zoo is definitely going to take place!  We had a few 1st grade parents who were very generous with their donations and covered the deficit.  Thank you so much!  We are still planning on leaving for Hogle Zoo at 8:45 on Tuesday, September 8th. 🙂 

This week was a great week! Here is a few things to remind you or for you to make note of. 
Centers: 
Centers won’t start for a while but if you signed up to help during centers I would love your help this week with a few things. If you could come in on your day between 9:00 and 10:20 that would be great! 

Box Tops/Soup Labels: 
We are collecting box tops and soup labels. The grade that gets the most collected gets a prize. Please save these and send them with your student every so often and I have a bucket to collect them in here at the school. 

Field Trip: 
I have sent home a field trip permission slip with each student. If you did not get one or still haven’t turned it in please get with me or turn it in. I am in the process of making groups and need to know who I will have there. Thanks!

Homework: 
I will be training and going over homework this week (hopefully) so don’t plan on homework for a while I will let you know. However, please go on the school’s website and under student links you will find Raz-Kids. Here is my class username qbischoff. Please have your student go in and click on their name and have your student read 20 minutes every night. I have read with every student this week and in order for them to progress they need to have a routine of reading everyday! 

Scholastic Book Order: 
I passed out scholastic book order forms. Please go online and order with this class code: P4V4R 

I will be submitting that order at the end of the week. I am not allowed to collect money at the school so please do this online. 

That was a lot of information but I will start trying to write one post every Friday to fill you in on everything. 

Thanks!
Mrs. Bischoff

Parents/Guardians,

We have been given permission for the next two weeks to allow your students to bring a small nutritious snack to our last recess. We feel that this may help them to be able to transition to a full day of school. They will get used to waiting until after school but we want to help them get to that point. We are asking that the snack be no bigger than the palm of your hand. Ex: granola bar, raisins etc. Please no food containing nuts for allergy reasons. 

Thanks! 

Mrs. Bischoff
