Monday, October 3rd

Good afternoon parents! I want to explain about a couple of new homework items your child came home with tonight. We have been asked to send home fluency passages each week. I would like for you to listen to your child read the passage aloud each night. You do not have to time them. Instead, encourage them to read with an appropriate rate, paying attention to punctuation and tone of voice. Please work with your child to complete the questions on the back and both of you sign the paper where indicated. Also, your child brought home a packet of word problems. I went over in class how the problems should be completed. Your child will get a new packet each week and should work to complete the problems by the end of the week.

Tonight's homework:
Spelling-page 29
English-page 29
Math-write 5s multiplication facts 3 times each (test Wednesday), word problems (due Wednesday)
Reading-read story (Grace and the Time Machine) AR test Wednesday, fluency passage (due Wednesday)

Your child may also have other homework as assigned by Mrs. Hudson. She is filling in for me half-day since my doctor has limited my work to 4 hours a day. Mrs. Hudson is a retired teacher so I know your child is in good hands while I'm not there.
