Homework for the Week of January 10th

Important Reminders There is a math test on Chapter 17 material Wednesday!!  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.  Our story this week is Marven of the Great North Woods.  Progress reports come home on Tuesday.

We have a science night on Wednesday at 6:30.  There will be a presentation and if your child attends, they can receive 10 points extra credit for their science grade!



Booklets will be coming home this week to help our technology in the school.  Students are to work with parents to write down the names of people and their complete addresses with their first and last name along with their grade on each page.  Students who turn in completed booklets can receive a prize upon turning in and a grand prize at the end of our time.

Your child will be a published author!!  Forms were sent home to purchase a book that your child will write this year.  Each student gets their own book filled with their own poems.  The first book is free.  Any other reprints of their book require you to purchase them.  Please fill out the information, but know that you must have credit card or check and that they will not be cashed until Spring time.


Tuesday:  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 write all 25 spelling word in a sentence (please underline the spelling word).

Wednesday:  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 13 Lesson 1, and write all 25 spelling words in alphabetical order.

Thursday:  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 13 Lesson 2 and study for the spelling and 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!

  1. Should Trevor do the Monday homework even though there was no school Monday? Just want to be sure.

  2. Sorry! Made the correction. No he doesn't need to do Monday homework if there is no school.
