Homework for the Week of March 26th

Important Reminders:  Chapter 23 Test will be this Thursday! 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.  This week's story is Wildfires.  Progress reports will come home Friday.

I sent back jog-a-thon papers and students can collect their donations now.  Remember that all this money comes directly back to the school to get technology in our classrooms and your child could win a limo lunch with Mrs. Jamero for getting the highest donation amounts.  Good luck!


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 it must be turned in by March 27th.

Monday:  Do a fluency read for one minute aloud, 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 20 Lesson 3, and write 25 spelling words 3 times each.

Tuesday:  Do a fluency read for one minute aloud, 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 20 Lesson 4, and write 25 spelling words in sentences.

Wednesday:  Do a fluency read for one minute aloud, 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 21 Lesson 1, and write 25 spelling words in ABC order.

Thursday:  Do a fluency read for one minute aloud, 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 21 Lesson 2 and study for the vocabulary test tomorrow!

Have a great week!
