Card marking 3 ends Friday, March 27. I will be assessing students the next 2-3 weeks on content covered in card marking 3. There will be a card marking 3 review guide for you to review with your child. I will put the review guide in take home folders on Monday.
On Friday, I put a reading fluency sheet in reading bags. The purpose for these fluency practice sheets is to build fluency with recognizing and reading CVC words and comprehending what we are reading. Please have your child read the passage 2-3 times for fluency practice. After they have read the passage go over the comprehension questions with your child for comprehension/understanding. If they are not sure what the answer is for a question, please have them re-read and underline the answer in the sentence. Please turn in on Monday, if you need more time you can turn in later in the week. I will begin including fluency passages on Mondays along with homework packets.
