Math Homework:
- Worksheets: Please complete every other problem (alternate between evens and odds so your child gets practice doing story problems AND “Vocabulary Check”/ “Test Practice” problems each week). If your child wants to do every problem they are certainly free to do so!
Please help your child read the directions/example problems and allow them to talk about the problems as they figure out the answers. - Fluency Timings: This week, we are working on “Count Back 1, 2, or 3”. With your timing in the plastic sheet protector (included in your blue folder), use a dry-erase marker to practice. When you’re ready, have a parent time you while you complete all 20 problems with pencil (write directly on the paper this time). Work on 1 timing each day, Monday-Thursday. Record your time and score on the paper and turn in all 4 completed timings with your math homework at the end of the week. [Emphasize improvement on personal time, rather than finishing within a minute.]
Helpful Hint: Here’s how we’re learning to “count back” in class: Start with the bigger number and count back.
Example: 8 – 2. Snap your finger (or clap) and say “8” then count back 2: say “8” (with a snap)…”7” (hold up 1 finger)…”6” (hold up 2 fingers).
Ideas for extra math practice: Math Facts Activities

2- Reading 20 minutes per day. Reading comprehension strategy: Help your child read a story, identify the characters and setting of the story.
3- Spelling /Phonics: short e Help your child practice the spelling words, then have your child add words to the list with the same vowel sound as in hen. This week’s phonic sound is the short e sound, as in men and bread.
