Every day and each week, homework should consist of:
READING:
- Make new flashcards for the new words and letter teams.
- Study flashcards EVERYDAY!
- Read Book Bag books 3 times each everyday!
- RAZ-Kids Reading and quizzes - these quizzes will come back to me so I can see how you are doing!
- Have a parent read to child, asking HOTS comprehension questions before, during, and after reading.
- Initial the Reading Log.
WRITING:
- Sharing - Write two sentences about a landform we are learning (mountain, valley, desert, plain) and a body of water (river, ocean, lake, pond). For example: Mountains are tall and made of rock. Oceans are made of salt water. Draw a picture to go with your sentence. Sharing is due any day this week.
- Write sight words - Practice writing your sight words (challenge: write a sentence with each sight word!) Due Friday.
- Write a story - write a short story consisting of two-three sentences on one topic. Don't forget your details, Neat Nancy penmanship, and proper punctuation. Due Friday.
- Take a practice spelling and dictation sentence test on Thursday to prepare for your Friday test!
MATH:
- Our new math curriculum (with a homework component) will begin sometime after Christmas. Until then, go over the SAXON MATH page in your GO Folder each day, helping your child with any concept that is difficult.
- Practice the following math concepts ONLY AS NEEDED:
- Write numbers 1-30 (challenge: 1-100). Focus on number reversals!
- Read numbers 1-30 (use number flashcards if your child is still struggling with number identification out of order).
- Practice counting 5s and 10s.
- Practice telling time to the hour and half hour.
- Practice counting money (pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters).
- Practice making patterns (AB, ABB, ABC, AAB)
- Practice what number comes before, after, in between.
- Practice larger than, greater than, less than, fewer than.
- Practice days of the week and months of the year.
- Practice addition (story problems are great too!)
- Practice LEFT and RIGHT - for example, ask your children to raise their right hand/left hand, draw a square in the upper left corner, draw a circle in the lower right corner, etc.
Homework due Friday. Please write your name on the Reading Log and staple that to the front of homework. Thank you!
