Reading Fluency
I have modified the homework just a little. You will see coming home today a new type of reading fluency activity, to replace the one paragraph passage. The new passages give more of a challenge, with added activity and a whole lot more engagement to commit to throughout the week. The other bonus this fluency has is that is similarly related to Six Minute Fluency that we do in the classroom. Which means directions on the necessary process are not included, and instead the students can teach you an aspect of their day that they are now bringing home. They will only need your help to time their fluency for one minute and to also identify words read incorrectly. The students should be able to take care of the rest!

I ask that they try to do this each night. They have a small chart to fill in each read, to record total words read correctly and incorrectly for Monday through Thursday. Today students jumped to see if there last read could be Friday morning before they come to school...of course!!
There are also three comprehension questions on the back that students need to answer with complete sentences and return each Friday.
There are two columns on the graphing chart, to record and track results. The first column above the assigned passage is their first read (Monday). The second column is their last read (Thursday - or Friday). This is a record for the students to keep at home. The graph does not need to be returned to school. Just the fluency passage/comprehension questions.
Spelling
New spelling words including r-controlled sounds are coming home.
/er/
/or/
/ar/
The story Kids Excel, that is mentioned in the spelling note, will be coming home Tuesday night instead of Monday night.
Thank you for all your continued help and support at home!!
