Homework

Check the homework calendar in your child's binder.  The calendar is for the whole month of Aug.  We are really trying to drill those basics into our students this year, so we really want to focus on those math facts and sight words.  I will be putting a sight word list in their binder some time this week.  I didn't want to overwhelm everyone on the first homework day.  Students can choose to study their spelling flash cards or do one of the spelling activities.  We will be looking at some of the activities this week so that they know what they are all about.  Fluency is very important! Please make sure to look for the passage in your child's binder and do the one minute read!  We also talked about how reading for 20 min. a day is easy.  It could be something you do as a family or right before bed.  We did a little brainstorming on how we could get that 20 min. in!!!

Here are the spelling words for the week:
hide
slide
ride
wide
pride
hid
bid
kid
eyelid
inside

Sight Words:
over
new
sound
take
only

If your child passed the spelling pre-test then they got these words to study:
surprise
decide
arrive
survive
combine
polite
reptile
excite
divide
describe

students using this list will also use the same sight words as above. 

If you have any questions please ask! 

Have a great week!
