A note from Dr. Brown
Hello Parents!!! I’m so excited
about the month of March! It sure came in ‘like a lion!’ Don’t forget that tomorrow is Reading Night!
Bring a can of soup for the food bank, have your child dress in his/her
pajamas, and come join us for a fun-filled night of Amelia Bedelia! We have so
many fun things planned for school! Along with fun, we have some current needs.
We need
white copy paper – we are completely out,
gold chocolate coins for St. Patrick’s Day, and it’s time to start thinking
about Easter!!!
I will let you know, by next
week, when we will have our annual egg hunt. We will need 10 plastic eggs for
your child, filled with candy! I am thinking the egg hunt will take place March
28, the day before our Spring Break! I know we will need some parent volunteers
to ‘hide’ the eggs! Just imagine, 250 eggs!!! If you can come join us for that
fun-filled day, please send me a note so that I may start keeping track of how
many helpers we will have!
HOMEWORK
Monday: Have your child rainbow write
this/her spelling words. Have your child explain to you the ‘phonics standard’
he/she is working on in each column of the word sorts. Have him/her write 5
words that match each of their phonetic rules. Their individual phonics
standards are the same as the ‘feature’ listed at the top of their word
sorts. Don’t forget to practice reading
on Raz – Kids and math on IXL.com!
Tuesday: Have your child sort their
spelling words, put them in ABC order, read them, and spell them to you. Have
your child explain to you the ‘phonics standard’ he/she is working on in each
column of the word sorts. Have him/her to pick five of the words and write them
in a complete sentence. They should be using a capital letter at the beginning,
a noun and a verb in the sentence, and a correct punctuation mark at the
end. Don’t forget to practice reading on
Raz – Kids and math on IXL.com!
Wednesday: Practice math skills on IXL. If you do not
have internet, I will be more than happy to send home a practice worksheet. I
may also continue asking your child to practice flats, rods and cubes – if
he/she needs practice with place value. Please make sure that you are asking
him/her to point at the ‘one’s place,’ ‘ten’s place,’ and ‘hundred’s place.’ I
have found that some kids are able to ‘build’ the number and understand the
value of the cubes as 1, rods as 10, and flats as 100. However, they are still
confusing which place the number is written. This will just take lots of
practice. Practice spelling words. Don’t
forget to practice reading on Raz – Kids and math on IXL.com!
Thursday: Have your child do as many multiple
representations for the number 116 as he/she can think to do. We will be adding
some new ways to create numbers this week.
The copy of the rubric that is
taped in the front of your child’s agenda should be getting really easy for
him/her. However, your child must use that rubric in order to get credit
for being able to do this skill. Please help make sure your child is writing on
the lines correctly and keeping his/her work neat. I will be keeping some of
these Thursday assignments in his/her portfolio to prove that he/she can do
this standard. It is extremely important!
Please
study spelling words, read on Raz-Kids, and Practice IXL nightly! Even if it
only for a few minutes!
Friday: No Homework!
