Homework for the Week of December 5th

Important Reminders There is a math test on Chapter 14 on Friday!!  Please remember these important reminders on homework and tests:  Summaries are paragraphs that include important things from their story.  They must not include opinions, such as I love this book.  Students take a vocabulary quiz once a week.  There are 20 words and they must know their definitions.  I recommend that the students take home their vocabulary notebooks nightly to study for their quiz.  Notebooks must come back to school the next day.  Progress reports come home on Monday 




**Students should be practicing their multiplication math facts with flashcards.  Quickness is required for them to pass their timed tests.  Put flashcards in the car for a quick glance on the way home from the grocery store or on the way to school.  It only takes 5 minutes a day.

This week will be MUTA testing week for all our reading lessons.  For the vocabulary test, students must know antonyms and synonyms for their words.

Monday:  Do a fluency read for 1 minute with an adult and mark on fluency paper, read from a book of your choice for 15 minutes then write a 5 (or more if you choose) sentence summary about what you read, and complete the comprehension page.

Tuesday:  Do a fluency read for 1 minute with an adult and mark on fluency paper, read from a book of your choice for 15 minutes then write a 5 (or more if you choose) sentence summary about what you read, and complete the math page for Chapter 11 Lesson 1.

Wednesday:  Do a fluency read for 1 minute with an adult and mark on fluency paper, read from a book of your choice for 15 minutes then write a 5 (or more if you choose) sentence summary about what you read, and complete the math page for Chapter 11 Lesson 2.

Thursday:  Do a fluency read for 1 minute with an adult and mark on fluency paper, read from a book of your choice for 15 minutes then write a 5 (or more if you choose) sentence summary about what you read, complete the math page for Chapter 11 Lesson 3, and study for the vocabulary test tomorrow!

*Papers that should be turned in on Friday are:  all reading log pages, the fluency paper, and the homework from Thursday night.

Have a great week!
