Reading
We finished up our unit on making inferences this week. We focused on reading with the correct volume and inflection/ intonation based on the text's end marks and word clues in the text.
Reading Homework:
I've been please with the fluency progress and sight word recognition with each student. I'm making a change to help with the comprehension portion of reading. On Friday I will send home a reading passage at your child's reading level. They need to read the passage and answer the questions that are attached. I would encourage you to have them read the questions FIRST, then read the passage a couple of times. THEN, go back and answer the questions. I have been having the kids underline where they found their answers in the text- I encourage you to do the same. Then, return the passage to school when you are finished - anyday- no need to wait for Friday. I've attached a new set of directions for you to reference.
This IS worth 5 points toward their reading grade. Not returning the passage with questions answered receives a zero in the grade book.
Math
- adding 4 or more single digit or double digit numbers by looking for sums of 10, doubles, and doubles +1 facts
