Homework GuidelinesReading – 10 to 15 minutes on Raz Kids (www.kidsa-z.com or download the app – search Raz Kids or Kids A-Z. The teacher username is Tasha3235. Click on your child’s name and click their passwords [Everyone’s password is a duck])

Make sure your child is decoding words on their own using our strategies:

Here are some “I can statements” to look for in your child’s reading Use looks right, sounds right and makes sense Use different reading strategies (rereading, self-correcting) to check

reading comprehension Know and say the beginning, middle and end sounds of words Make words by putting sounds together

Break words apart Distinguish short and long vowel sounds Use letter/sound relationships to decode and read familiar words

After reading, ask them to retell the events in the story. If applicable, have them make a text-to-self connection. (Have you ever done something like this?)

Writing - 15 minutesWrite a recount of a story your child has read or an event that has happened. Use the graphic organizer to fill in writing. Writing I can statements/Outcome covered:

Edit using writer’s checklist. Spell word wall words correctly. (personal word wall in homework

folder) Attempt to spell longer, more complex words using letter sound

relationships. (stretching out, two vowels go walking, magic e, etc.) Use capital letters at the beginning of sentences and I. Write complete sentences using periods (or exclamation and question

marks).

Here is what the students use at school to get ideas on what to write about:

Graphic OrganizerIntroduction: ___________________Introduce the topic and tell the writing what you’re writing about. Add detail to grab attention by asking the 5 w’s (who, what, when, where, why) Example: Yesterday I went for a long walk with my mom to get fresh air.

First Then(There should be at least 6 words in each sentence)

Next Last

Feeling 😊/☹ (Wrap up sentence): ____________Finish off the writing with either a feeling (example: It felt nice and it was very fun to get outside with my mom) or wrap up the writing with a related sentence (example: I love going for walks. Do you like going for walks?)
