Homework pages went home today. Students should do all of the requirements, spelling, reading, math, writing and vocabulary. It shouldn't take longer than 40 minutes each night, 20 minutes to read, five minutes to write about their reading, five minutes a night on math and 10 minutes a night on vocabulary. This homework grade will be added to the report card this trimester. It will help prepare the students for the ISAT tests they will be taking. Completing their homework will also teach them responsibility. At first, they need a little encouragement.
Today we read half of our story, reviewed the spelling words and then introducing the vocabulary. Tomorrow we will finish the story and then start writing a business letter.
In math, we are having fun with fractions. As the students get the concept, they will be able to use these fractions in the things they do everyday.
