Hi everyone!  I have to be at a meeting in 5 minutes so this will be very quick.  :-)

Homework:

• Spelling:  Unit 24 sentences
• Math;  DWP Week 20 (Friday)

Also, the students brought home 2 letters from the office that we were required to send home regarding the PARRC test.  Please take some time to read them over.

Thanks for everything and stay warm!

Frigid Friday

Good afternoon, everyone!

Students need to study for their spelling test and GROW quiz this week end.  We had four students absent and several more who did not have their things at home on Wednesday to prepare.  I did not assign any other homework, so they would have PLENTY of time to study.  (Especially since progress reports will be coming home next week.)  :-)

Have a good week end!

Wednesday, February 18

Hi everyone!

Tonight's Homework:
Math: Mixed Numbers/Improper fractions worksheet
Spelling: Unit 23 workbook pages  (They had time to work on this in class.)

They should have plenty of time to read and work on Compass Learning tonight.  :-)

Tomorrow, I will be in the building, but I will be out of the classroom at a training all day.  Feel free to drop by the class and check on your child.  :-)  This also means that there won't be a blog post.  I'm not sure exactly how much of my work the guest teacher will be able to get through.  No matter what, though, please make sure your child studies for spelling and GROW.  We will definitely be taking the tests on Friday.

Thanks!

Oh, and don't forget:  Friday is a half day.  School will be dismissed at 11:15!

Tuesday, February 17

Hi everyone!

Tonight's Homework:

• Math: PARCC Review packet on adding and subtracting fractions
• Reading:  PARCC Review packet on Drama
• Absentee Work:  Spelling sentences for Unit 23 and math word problems page

That's it for now.  Have a great afternoon!

Marvelous Monday

Hi everyone!

What an interesting day we had today.  :-)  The class seemed very empty today with 8 students absent.  (1/3 of the class!)  The students that were here were able to spend a lot of time on the computer working on Compass Learning and play vocabulary review games on the SMART Board.

The only homework they have is to write their spelling sentences for Unit 23.  They did have time in class to begin, so many students should be almost done.  These are homonyms this week so context matters!

I also offered a math extra credit assignment for homework.  If your child has no homework, they chose not to take the extra credit worksheet.

Thanks for everything!  I hope to see everyone back tomorrow!  :-)
