Homework for the week:
SPELLING
We have started our new Spelling program and it is going well! Each week students review their own writing and try and pin point words that they are having difficulty with. These are their words for the week. Each night students will have a sheet that asks them to write their words and then write them in a good sentence. This Thursday we will be trying something different. Instead of writing new sentences each student is asked to re-read all the sentences they wrote this week. Then they will choose their best sentence and make sure it is as interesting and perfect as they can. On Friday we will share our sentences and decide which is the 'Winner of the Week'. This sentence will be posted around the room with a copywrite sign that other students can then ask permission to use in their own writing!!
MATH
Students again have math worksheets that they are to work on daily. Each evening they are required to complete 2 of the lessons. We are going through them in order.
Parents- if your child is unable to complete their homework due to other activities- such as hockey games, please write a quick note and your child will not need to stay in over lunch to complete it, they can catch up over the next few nights. Without a note, students will be kept in to complete unfinished work.
