Homework is based on a skill learned in class.
Child should be able to complete with minimal assistance.
You may assist your child, but if they are struggling, please send in a note or email so I can review the next day!
Please only complete the work for each particular day and do not let your child go ahead.
Completed assignments should be returned each day in the Take-Home Folder.
Homework should take no more than 10 minutes per night, excluding 15 minutes of nightly reading.
TBD most likely will be on Google Classroom
Students are required to read at least 15 MINUTES each night.
Record reading on either a paper copy of the log or the Google Doc provided. This will always be available on Google Classroom.
Have students try to fill in information on reading log as the year progresses.
Turn in reading log every Friday.
Homework will be the same weekly with different word sorts
Monday
Remind your child to sort the words into categories like the one we did in school. Your child should read each word aloud during this activity. Ask your child to explain to you why the words are sorted in a particular way - what does the sort reveal about spelling in general? Ask your child to sort them a second time as fast as possible. You may even want to time them!
Tuesday
Do a blind sort with your child. Lay down a word from each category as a header and then read the rest of the words aloud. Our child must indicate where the word goes without seeing it. Lay it down and let your child move it if he or she is wrong. Repeat if your child makes more than one error.
Wednesday
Choose from any Word Work Activity from the handout provided!
Thursday
Do a written sort. As you call out the words in a random order, your child should write them in categories. Call out any words your child misspells a second or even third time.
Will be sent home nightly on the lesson completed.
Front side is always a must do, while the back side is a can do.
Students will receive a homework slip.
Please sign the slip and return with the completed homework the following day.
