Homework

For the week of May 5-8:   
Homework: Word study will be due Friday as usual :) I have added a line at the bottom of the word study contract that gives students the option of creating/choosing a different activity to show me their understanding of their weekly words. They don't have to use this option, but it is there as an extra choice.

Regarding Group 2's spelling pattern (the VCC/CV, VC/CCV, and V/V pattern): This is a tough list! Here is some extra explanation to help you at home. The slash means there is a syllable break in that word. Looking at the VCC/CV pattern, if the word is athlete and we break it apart into syllables the break would be ath-lete. The break is right after the second consonant. Looking at the VC/CCV pattern, if the word is pilgrim, then the syllable break is right after the second consonant, pil-grim. If you have other questions, please let me know. Some students did not have their sort colored correctly.
 
Please also be going over flashcards for math facts so students are getting that extra practice. With our curriculum we just don't have all the extra time we need to devote to memorizing facts, so practice at home is a great help.

Late or missing homework will be reflected in student's effort grade on their report card.  I understand situations arise that cannot be foreseen, please let me know if your child needs to turn in homework late or is having difficulty with weekly homework and I will make every effort to accommodate that need.
