Happy Friday Everyone!!
WORD STUDY
Over the past 2 weeks we have been practicing all different word study activities in class, one each day. The students took a practice quiz today to get them ready for their first real one in 2 weeks. After assessing all of the students at the beginning of they year, I organized them into groups to work on certain word features that they are still struggling with. On Monday, students will be coming home with their list of words and features to work on. All word study activities will be completed in class, however it would be great to practice these words at home also. The students will have the same list of words to practice for 2 weeks before the quiz is given. I will also be sending home an information sheet with your child on Monday about word study. Please let me know if you have any further questions!
TIMED DRILLS
On Monday, students will start taking their weekly timed drill assessments. As discussed at Back to School Night, students are required to know basic addition and subtraction facts up to 20. They will be taking timed drills with mixed addition and subtraction facts. By the end of the year, students should be able to answer 50 problems in 4 minutes. However, the first and second quarter, they will get 5 minutes to complete them to give them more time to practice. I give a timed drill every Monday that will come home the following week. Reflex Math is a great way to practice and work on addition and subtraction facts. More information about timed drills came home in your child's folder today.
