These are "WOW" words I am teaching in the classroom. Your child will be
exposed to the definitions and the words in context. Please try to use these
words in daily conversations with your child. Your child does not have to be
able to read or spell these words, but does need to understand their meanings
for the Weekly Reading Test.
Math Fact of the Week: 3+4, 4+3
Below you will find a Suggested Schedule of Activities. All homework is sent
home on Mondays and due on Thursdays. You may schedule the activities to
meet your family’s needs, as long as the homework is returned by Thursday.
SUGGESTED SCHEDULE:
Monday: Practice the sight words by playing a game. Write the Spelling
words two times each. Complete the Math practice sheet.
FEATURED GAME: BINGO
BINGO
Make a BINGO card by folding a piece of paper in half 4 times. This will make
16 boxes. Have your child choose 16 sight words from a pile of this week’s
and previous week’s words. As you hold up each word card have your child read
the word. If your child has that word on his or her BINGO card, they put a
marker in that box.
Tuesday: Practice all math facts and sight words. Complete the family
Language Arts activity.
Wednesday: Read the assigned book(s). Ask comprehension questions such as:
What happened first, next, last? Who was the main character? What was the
problem? Has anything like that ever happened to you? What would you do if
it did? Return the book(s), bag and signed pink slip on THURSDAY. Practice
all sight words and math facts.
Thursday: Study Spelling words for the written test tomorrow. Practice
the new and previously sent home math facts for the TIMED fact test
tomorrow. The test will include all facts previously sent home. The goal is
to complete all 30 problems in 3 minutes or less. Practice the sight words
for automatic and quick recognition.
