Homework for Monday, September 29, 2014

Post date: Sep 29, 2014 8:42:25 PM

Math: We are starting Math Module 2 this week. There is an informative letter in your child's take-home folder explaining what we will be learning in the classroom. Our main focus will be on measurement. Please read over this letter and continue to save all practice sets and homework activities for the end-of-the module assessment.

Reading: Reading Logs

*Homeward Bound books - please read on a nightly basis. Students are required to read these books at home. Each student needs to turn in 2 reading log sheets per Interim, and a total of 4 reading log sheets per report card. Your child will receive a grade for turning in his/her completed reading logs.

Social Studies:

We are beginning to study the calendar and timelines.

Spelling:

This week students will begin by learning about consonant blends. Unlike the digraphs (ch-, sh-, wh-, th-) where the two letters make one sound, each sound of a blend is heard, but the sounds are blended together. Your child will use the practiced words in class to identify consonant blends within words on the Friday spelling test.

Once again, your son/daughter will be required to spell three more “red words” on his/her final spelling test on Friday. Our red words for the week are friend, floor, and ghost. As a class the students will continue to practice words on our “Word Wall.”

Please write each red word and green word three times each for homework. Return the completed spelling practice on Tuesday, September 30, 2014. Please note that this week’s final spelling test will be on Friday, October 3, 2014.

Red Words: friend, floor, ghost

Green Words: April, May, June, July, Sunday, singular, plural
