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).

Monday: ready, story, puppy
Tuesday: any, many
Wednesday: sunny, very
Thursday: Practice Quiz
Friday: Quiz
Blue Group (Mrs.
McGivern)
Monday: after, one, once, upon
Tuesday: put, fell, letter, better
Wednesday: surprise, hat, coat, shoes

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 Z. 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:
Social Studies: What does Urban
mean? What does Rural mean?
Math: What were you
measuring today?
Gym: What were you
doing in gym today

we will be collecting any items from May 4 – May 14 that might be helpful for
their clientele (new toothbrushes,
toothpaste, socks etc). Please bring any items you may have for donation and
hand them into your classroom teacher and we will deliver the items the third
week of May. Thank you for your generosity and thoughtfulness as we continue to
support our homeless youth in Calgary.
