Homework

1. Literacy Map:

For homework each night please encourage your child to print 1 line of each spelling word and 1-2 sentences using these words.  As they are printing the words they should be making the sounds for each grapheme they print.  When completing their sentences, students should remember to start with an uppercase, end with punctuation, and include juicy words (descriptive vocabulary).

Please check your child’s quiz to see how they did and which words they may need to review.

2. Reading:

Please have your child read for a minimum of 10-15 minutes per night.  This can be a paper book or Raz-Kids.  If using Raz-Kids, please have your child listen to the book, read the book, and then complete the comprehension quiz (independently).  Remember to allow your child time when solving unknown words.  Encourage them to use single and double graphemes, think about what would make sense, use the picture clues, and skip the word and continue reading to solve the word. 

3.Tell and Show:

Please note that some weeks we get fairly busy with daily learning tasks and may not have time to get to every student’s Tell and Show.  If your child is unable to share on their day please reassure them that they will get to share the following day.  This week, students are doing letter X.  Please allow your child to complete this work independently.  Thank you to those of you who have been doing this already.  If you are concerned we will not be able to read your child’s writing please just scribe underneath what they have written. 

Ask Me About:

Our lizards!  What was the best part about your lizard?  Why?

Math: How did you do on the math quiz? 

Where are we going tomorrow?

Reminders:

1.    We are going on our walk to Country Hills Golf Club tomorrow.  Please make sure your child is dressed appropriately! Make sure you are on time tomorrow as we are leaving first thing in the morning.

2.    If you were unable to attend the Student Led Conferences please email your child’s teacher to set up a time to come in.

3.    Please continue to send in your Boston Pizza receipts to support our Boston Pizza Fundraiser.  When your child brings in a receipt they have a chance to win a prize!
