Do Your Kids do Homework?

Every week, as I have mentioned before, we send home a math sheet on Wednesdays.  Most of my students do it, but I always seem to have one or two that don't.  When students come in and say they didn't get their homework done because they were at soccer practice and they didn't get home until 8:00, what do you say?  Part of me wants to say, "You're five and soccer practice is what you should be doing", and then there's the part of me that knows there will be written homework everyday in first grade... that part of me wants to tell it like it is.  I would love to hear your comments.  Until then, here is another math sheet FREEBIE that correlates to CCSS.Math.Content.K.OA.A.5 Fluently add and subtract within 5.

Okay... so it's been a while... shame on me!  I have had more time these past few weeks while my student teacher does her solo teaching, so I don't even have much of an excuse for not blogging- except that I am not teaching so it is harder to think of stuff to write about.  I have been "invisible" (mostly) for two weeks now.  It is hard and and I miss teaching, but it is nice having two people to do my job.  (It's also a little sad how well it works to have two people to do my job- teaching expectations have gotten out of control!).  The kids are a riot... asking Ms. Strafford (student teacher) who she is talking to when she asks me a question... it's absolutely amazing that 5 and 6 year old kids can have such defined and fun senses of humor.  :)

I have made a few things, although one is  now out-dated for the year, it's St.Patrick's Day Sight Word Game.  The standard it is associated with is CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.3c .  The other activity is a compound word activity.  I wasn't able to find an exact standard stating "compound words", but I think it goes with CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RF.K.2b.  Both items are available in my TpT store.  The springtime Rainbow Compound Words is a FREEBIE!  Both items are differentiated.

Finally, I made a homework sheet for capacity.  It goes with these standards:

• CCSS.Math.Content.K.MD.A.1
• CCSS.Math.Content.K.MD.A.2

I am hoping to continue to post common core aligned homework sheets for math each week so please check back if you find this one helpful!
