Homework this week is due on Friday, January 29:
1- Math Homework:
*Complete every other problem (alternate between evens and odds) on the worksheets that will be coming home in the blue folder on Monday. Please check your child’s work for ACCURACY.
*Practice your math facts (addition and subtraction) regularly by utilizing any of the math facts activities listed here: Math Facts Activities
*NEW*! As part of your Math Facts Activities Homework, include practice of your Addition Strategies Flash Cards.
Helpful Hint: Place the timed test your child is working on in a plastic sheet protector and use a dry-erase marker to practice over and over. The goal is to finish 25 problems in 1 minute and 30 seconds, with 90% accuracy (23 out of 25 problems correct). To print the timed test click here: Timings-ALL

SPELLING SENTENCE 9 POINTS POSSIBLE ON TEST (1 point for each correctly spelled word, 1 point for beginning the sentence with an uppercase letter, and 1 point for the correct punctuation mark at the end of the sentence.)
SORT GROUPS:

ORANGE group (short & long o): Abigail, Kaleb, Devon, Samantha, Izabella, Brittany, Emma, Evelyne, Jak
ODDBALL word: come, some
GREEN group (vowels with ck, ke, or k): Alex, Alexandria, Brooklyn, Riley
Hint: all the words ending in -ck have short vowel sounds, the words ending in -ke have long vowel sounds, and the words ending in -k have vowel sounds that are neither long nor short. Students benefit from blind sorting these words so they rely on listening to the sound of the vowel and not just looking at the letter patterns.
**This is an assessment week for this group** If they get 90% or higher they will move to a new sort section, if not they will repeat this sort section or portions of it again.
BLUE group (short & long u): Tristen, Colter
ODDBALL word: truth, do, sew
**Note: Many cards are pictures, please encourage your child to spell as much of the word as they can. Pictures are used so the students will listen to the letter sounds rather than just look for the letter that matches their header.
**Some guide words have a C or V combination on them – C stands for consonant and V stands for vowel.
