Dear Parents, below is a list for your students to work on today: 1. Please look up caverns, and talk about stalactites and stalagmites. Have your child draw a picture with a cavern showing both and talk about how they are formed. 2. Phonics: Today our new word family is both the "ink" and "ank" family. Practice that word family and write 6 sentences using those words. 3. Reading: Read and re-read book 22. This one has more student reading in it, so it will take more practice. Read the current Phonic Stories, and then go back and practice severl of our old ones to keep those sounds in mind. Next week we will be learning new sounds, the long vowels. So it is important to get the short vowels solidified. 4. Number Skills: Practice 10 addition facts and 10 subtraction facts. Mix them up, so that your child will have to watch for the correct sign. /// Practice some word problems using the quarter. Help your student realize a quarter is worth 25 cents, (always use the word "cents") to help them know the value. 5. We will do Wednesday's worksheets on Friday. Stay safe! Thank you, Mrs. States

Below is list of the work to be done at home on Wednesday: 1. Reading: Continue working on Book 21, "The Bibles" and the current Phonic Stories. Review several of the old Phonic Stories as well. Go over the new word families, helping your student to come up with more of these in the new word families. 2. Handwriting: Our Service words this week are "Bible" and "have" Write 3 sentences for each word. Be sure to write slowly, use correct spacing, form and punctuation marks. 3. Our new blends for this week are the "th" and "wh" sounds. Both of these can be hard to form in words. Help your student come up with 6 of each word, and write it correctly. 4. Number Skills: We have started with the concept of subtraction. Please go over the addition sign + and the subtraction sign - with your student. Then do 10 problems of each concept, helping your student to watch for the correct sign.//// Review both the value and recognition of the 4 coins that we have worked with. 5. This would be a good time to review the sight word page given at the beginning of the year. Practice the ones that your student still needs to work on. You have the homework for Thursday in their folder. We will do Wednesday's lesson on Friday. Stay warm and safe in this deep freeze! Thank you, Mrs. States

Hello Parents, Listed below are the homework tasks for your child for Monday. 1. Reading: Read and re-read our current book #13, "Bell."

Help your child come up with several more in each family. 3. Handwriting: Practice writing our most recent letters of Mm, Oo, and Ff. Write these in the pre-cursive style, both upper and lower case. Two lines of each. 4. Number Skills: Help your student count and write by 5's to the number 100. Talk about how the nickel is worth 5 cents, so when counting nickels, we count by fives. Compare to counting by 10's when we are counting dimes. Explain the fact that a nickel is always worth 5 cents. Stay safe and stay warm! I will see you on Wednesday! Mrs. States

Hello Parents, Please read the new book sent home on Friday, along with the new Phonic stories placed in your student's folder. These are new words for your student, as they are long vowels. They will need extra help with these words. For Number Skills---Practice both addition and subtraction facts in the numbers of 0-5's. Do at least 20 of these problems. Also, practice the value of coins, using actual coins. For Share and Tell this week, have your child draw a picture of their family doing something special in the season that they like the best. Color and make the picture look grand! This week, our new word families are---"ave", "ate", "ame", "ake", and "ale". Write three words from each family using the very best handwriting. Remember these are long vowels, so help your student recognize this. The "e" at the end is silent, and the vowel in the middle is long. For Tuesday, write 5 sentences using the new words. We will catch up with our book sheets on Wednesday. If you will do these things on both Monday and Tuesday, it will be greatly beneficial for your student. Thank you and be safe, Mrs. States

Hello to all, I hope you are all safe and warm in the middle of this winter cold! Assignments for both Monday and Tuesday are listed below. I have listed them together, so you can work at your child's pace. See you all on Wednesday! PHONICS: Pages 153-156 HANDWRITING: Consists of correcting the written work on the pages above. Make sure there is correct spacing both between letters and words. Also the letters should take up the correct height in the lines, such as a lower case e should take up the entire space of the "downstairs" and a y should be in the "downstairs" and "basement." All lines should be straight and correctly formed. In class, we do those over that need more practice. Use new sight words to make 7 sentences, and please correct these as well. NUMBER SKILLS: Pages 101-102. Talk about the importance of the calendar and how it works. speaking of the calendar working, don't forget this weekend is the time we change back to Daylight Savings Time! That could be part of the conversation. Practice with pennies, nickels and dimes, going over the value of each in cents. They are having a hard time grasping this concept. Practice the addition facts of 1's, 2's and 3's. READING: Each child should practice the current reading book they are on. Both days try to emphasize smooth flowing sentences, with pauses where there are periods, and with a change in voice if there is an exclamation point! Please watch for any type of memorization of words as this will hinder further progress in learning new material. LETTERS AND SOUNDS: Pages 207-208. Thank you, Mrs. States
