Homework Assignments!

Reading: *Read for at least fifteen minutes record it on your reading log. After you read a story retell the story to someone in your family in your own words. Tell them about the characters and what you liked about the story or didn't like. Tell them whether the story was informational text, fantasy, or realistic fiction. Try to make a connection to the story. What does it remind you of? Has anything like that ever happened to you? Does it remind you of a different story you know? Spelling: *Go through all of our word wall words and make sure you can read them all. Make flashcards of the ones you have trouble with and practice them. Math: *Practice counting coins in you piggy bank or ask mom and dad for change from their wallet and count how much there is. |

If you want to become a better reader or at least stay on the same reading level you MUST keep reading! 1. Read every night and write down your favorite part in a special reading journal. 2. Read to your mom, dad, brother, sister, or even your pet. 3. Tell someone about what you are reading. 4. Go to the Edgewater library and take out a few books each week. |

Spelling and
Phonics |
Please have your child complete their spelling homework by themselves, with assistance with word wall words if necessary. These words, along with previous spelling words, should be spelled correctly. Developmental spelling of unknown words, or inventive spelling, takes advantage of a child’s natural curiosity about the written word. The process itself builds confidence, because the accomplishments come through the child's own efforts. The negativity and fear of being wrong is taken out of the equation by focusing on the process, instead of the final result. Allow your child to sound out tough words! It is exactly what we do in school! New phonics sound: Word Wall Words: Word Building: every week we use consonant blends, endings, digraphs, and short/long vowels combinations to build words with emphasis on our new phonics sound. |
