Homework

NEW HOMEWORK!

Reading Fluency

The students are bringing home a reading fluency and comprehension page for the week. 

The fluency portion of this activity I am leaving optional for students and is an added bonus if they choose to complete. Not required, but encouraged.

This activity aligns with our Six Minute Fluency 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 greatly enjoy seeing the growth in the classroom each day with how fluent they are becoming, and I know they would like to show that at home as well. If they choose to test their fluency, there is a graph that is coming along. This is a visual for students to see their results and to show growth. This graph can be left at home and does NOT need to be returned. At school we graph our results everyday, but at home with this passage, they will only need to graph the first read (cold read) and the last read (hot read). However, I did tell the students that they can choose how they want to graph results if they wanted to do it more frequently at home. The ideas were interesting :)

There are also three comprehension questions on the back that students need to answer with complete sentences and then return each Friday. 

Now students can come home and teach you one way fluency and comprehension is tested!

Math Pages

Students are practicing to further their skill of adding with and without regrouping. We have three strategies that we have learned in the classroom from what they can choose from.

We are to the point of picking which strategy best works for ourselves. See if they can show you!

As always, if there are any problems or confusion for any part of homework, please mark the problem and send it back to school. Homework is not meant to be a stress or frustration at home. Just extra practice for students!
