Homework Week of February 20

Due to the shortened week, we will be taking the week to review Theme 6 in reading and I will also administer the Theme 6 test.  In preparation for this, I will not send reading homework, but encourage you to practice the following skills when listening to your child read:

Story Structure
-identifying characters, setting, problem, and solution

Noting Details
-Remember tiny details from the story including the names of characters.

Predicting
-At the beginning, in the middle, and at the end
-If their predictions changed, discuss what happened to make them change them.

Other things worth practicing are reviewing sight words, discussing opposites, and talking about long vowels ("an e on the end makes the vowel say it's name).

Spelling and Math homework will remain the same.
