Homework starts tonight

Homework has begun!


Your child should have brought their homework notebook home with them today. It is due back this Friday but we recommend keeping it in their backpack to help ensure it doesn't get left somewhere on that day. 

Each night your child should complete the review skill, choice 1 OR choice 2 and then do some reading with you. Reading aside, the work should take no longer than 20 minutes. The work should be completed on the pages behind the homework grid and you can put more than one night on a page to save paper. Until the children get more comfortable in their writing, they may need to dictate some of their ideas to you. But after a week or two, they need to begin doing some or more of the writing. 

All the questions from the homework relate to our Cobb County Standards of Excellence. For example, you will see a question about finding the numbers on the mailbox. This relates to our social studies standard of knowing their "place in space" from continent down to home address. The question about figuring out animals relates to our animal coverings and sorting standard. If you have a questions about anything we ask, please email me. And remember, you have a choice on which task you complete. 

There is no assignment relating to the 2 stories this week, but I have included them in the journal for you to peruse before next week's assignment. I accidentally left the last two sentences off the Ichabod story and for that I apologize.

I have included a great link in my drop down menu on the BLOG from Scholastic about how to set up great homework habits. Please take a look. And as always, let me know if there is anything you need or any questions you have. 

Have fun!

KIndergator Update 9.14

I am watching a 6 year old jump off a high diving board here at Georgia Tech as I type this. There is so much excitement and fear at the same time in her eyes as she gets ready to jump. It reminds me of how our kiddos look right before they sound out a big word in class. It is such fun to watch. Here are some things we worked on this week: Reading: We continued blending sounds together in guided reading groups. We began introducing the “letters that work together to make one sound” trick with blends like (sw, sn, st, sp). We also began our study of the parts of a story by discussing characters. Did you know anything can me a character if you write a story about it? We read about a blue dot as a character and a chameleon. We also reviewed th difference between real reading and fake fiction through our topic of chameleons this week. Math: We finished naming all the 2d shapes and describing them. Next week we will begin “eating” them. If your child can correctly describe the at
