Poem-Students should be re-reading the poem every night. It would be great if your child read it to you every night. This helps with fluency. Math problems: 5 per night. The reason the homework is due on Friday is so students can learn time management. The assignments can be divided up in any way that best fits the student's schedule. If they have a question about one of the questions, they can come in and talk to me about it in the morning. Many students have done this. 8:15-8:30 is our business time. Students get notes signed by Miss Brenda, get breakfast, read, ask me about homework, choose a DEAR book-if needed-, and generally get ready for their day.
Students received their first Storyworks magazine this week. These will be kept in the misc. section of their homework binders. If your child has some homework time left (remember the 50-minute rule?) then I encourage you to read a story or article together. We keep these all month and the students know they are to reread the pieces many times. They can also go to scholastic.storyworks.com the password is frogjar5. Articles and stories have audio and the students can follow along while they hear it.
Below is the information gathered from our Orientation Circle and the follow-up circle we had with the kids.
Today the students were assigned their computers.
This is what our organized computer cart looks like!!!!!
