Homework (Oct 23-27)

Homework this week is due on Friday, October 27:

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 continued” (counting back from the bigger numbers: #11-20).  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: 18 – 2.  Snap your finger (or clap) and say “18” then count back 2: say “18” (with a snap)…”17” (hold up 1 finger)…”16” (hold up 2 fingers).
