Please remember homework goes home on Mondays and is due Friday. What comes home Monday: Reading Log Latin/ Greek Vocabulary List and practice sheets Daily Homework: Math, this is because math lessons sometimes take longer and I do not want your child to go home with math homework they haven't learned yet. Computer Homework: ThinkCerca- one reading and one paragraph a week Study Island- reviews the standards we are working on in class IXL- math practice. Students should be working on place value, decimals, exponents at this point. They can also review concepts that are challenging for them. I found a free app to help with the Common Core standards and preparation for the PARCC test. If you are in the Apple Ap Store, just search: Common Core Quest. It is free and you can sign up with email or Facebook. I will download it into our classroom iPads. Just another resource we can all use. I see many families using these programs and just as many not using them. These are wonderful programs to support our in class learning. If you do not have your child's username or password or if they do not use it, please email me ASAP: IXL is used to reiforce math concepts. Study Island- I have assigned several activities that are the exact same standards we are working on in class, both in math, reading and grammar. ThinkCerca- is close reading and responding to literature with a paragraph. If you read through it, it tells your child exactly how to write the paragraph using evidence from the text. Please utilize these wonderful support programs, it is part of their homework/ class participation grade. |
