Homework for the Week of April 2nd

Important Reminders:   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 Skylark.  Progress reports will come home as soon as possible.

No school this Friday or next Monday.


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 21 Lesson 2, 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 21 Lesson 3, and write 25 spelling words in ABC order.

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 comprehension page, 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!

    1. At places like Barnes and Noble or the teacher store Hands On in Modesto, they have test prep books for STAR for each grade level. I will be sending a practice test home for you to look at and go over with your child. Sorry I didn't get a chance to answer this sooner. I have been sick.
