Weekly and Monthly Assignments/
Units of Study
March 2020 Fundations Level 3.oRe count stories, including Students will participate in the Fundations program. We are beginning a 3 week unit 10 study. Fundations is a multisensory, structured, systematic, cumulative, and explicit program with a clear and thoroughly documented research basis. The program focuses on student development by differentiating instruction, and actively engaging students in their learning. Students will have to practice fluency throughout the week at school and at home. Each week will have word study, sound alike words, and trick or sight word practice. Please click on the following link to view weekly word study, sound alike words and trick words. file:///home/chronos/u-a27f2f48b1ab8a8b734e18740fa0223eba4cf57d/MyFiles/Downloads/Unit%2010.pdf Students should read aloud from a favorite book at least 5 times per week for 15-30 minutes to improve their fluency. Research shows that repeated practice with an adult modeling appropriate rate and fluency increases your child's fluency. In the area of writing, students are expected to self-edit their work through the use of COPS (capitalization, organization, punctuation, and spelling). Whenever students hand in writing assignments, they should include the COPS checklist on their papers. In the last few quarters, we are focused on writing opinion pieces and research papers. In math, we are working on area and perimeter. Positive Norms to Encourage in Math Class by Jo Boaler @ youcubed from Stanford University
