Tuesday

Hi there!
Tonight's homework is:
Reading: LOG
Spelling: Study words
Science: Study "Exit Slip" from class today for quiz tomorrow (correct answers were given to study!)
Math: Finish "marbles" fraction worksheet
Social Studies: Finish Pacific States worksheet
Emotion Art picture and index card due Friday....


Gosh, that seems like a lot! However, it isn't as bad as it seems.....the study guide for science is only 10 questions and the quiz will be short. The math worksheet was also short, and most students finished it in class. Same goes for Social Studies worksheet, and I think most people got it finished as well. So, don't be scared...it shouldn't be that bad unless your child wasted a lot of time today!
Have a great evening and enjoy the sunshine!

Monday

Hi! Sorry if you've been missing me! There hasn't been much to post lately other than Reading Log and study Spelling words for homework. Today, there are a few other important notes. Please check your child's yellow folder for information about Read Across America Day this Friday. Friday's reading quiz was returned today as well. Please note that if your child did not get a 4 on his/her open response/extended written response question, then they are expected to revise it (which means do it over adding necessary corrections, etc.) until it is a 4. As we approach the end of the school year, and state testing, it is very important that we train students in answering these types of questions. By making them do them until they get it right, hopefully they will begin to see what is required to achieve a 4 and start getting them the first time. This said, all open response questions that were not scored a 4 the first time (in any subject area) are required to be revised to a 4 within one week. So the ORQ on the test returned today (Loser chapters 8-16) must be completed by next Monday. Please encourage your child to stay "caught up" on these, so they don't end up swamped under a pile of revisions. Thanks for your help with this!
In other news, this Thursday is Giovanni's Spirit Night--YAHOO! Please support our school and eat at Giovanni's for lunch or dinner (or both) that day.
Tonight's homework, again, is:
Reading: LOG
Spelling: Study words
...and the Emotion Art assignment for Mrs. Lloyd is due on Friday.
Thanks and have a great night!

Wednesday

Hi! Tonight's homework is easy-peasy again: just Reading LOG and study spelling words! We did a worksheet in class today (p.85) for spelling (syllable patterns)....most finished in class, but it should be homework if it wasn't finished.
Thanks and have a great night!

Thursday!

Tonight's homework:

*No quiz tomorrow! We didn't get to read very much this week due to the many happenings, snow, etc....

If you're wondering why there hasn't been much math homework, see Mrs. Price's blog...! I'm sure it will pick back up, so enjoy it while it lasts :)
