I was so happy that so many of the students completed the OPTIONAL Winter Break Packet! This made it much easier to jump back into our work today. Each student who brought in the completed packet(s) was able to choose a prize from the Treasure Box today. (Several students said that they had left theirs at home, so I am allowing them to turn it in by Wednesday morning for a prize.)
I am planning to take the students to the computer lab tomorrow so that they can take their first Reading Counts (independent reading) quiz. Most students said that they were able to finish their Lexile level book over the vacation. If your child was not able to, please try to help them get this done as soon as possible.
We will also be logging on to Reflex Math. If possible, please encourage students to log on at home at least once a week, and work to a green light. The students who did not go to 4th Grade Chorus this afternoon played Multiplication BINGO, and a surprising number of them were relying heavily on their "cheat sheet" multiplication charts.
The Top "10" Class Dojo Party for December will be on Wednesday (1/11) during lunch. (Please see my last post from December for a list of students.)
You may notice that your students are working pretty hard this week. Winter Break usually marks a period of growth and maturation for students, and they come back to school in January ready to do more. I have MUCH more for them. ;-)
A quick reminder about my homework policy:
1) Homework is assigned every day, Monday-Thursday.
2) All homework for the week is due by Friday.
4) Homework is a separate grade on your child's report card -- It counts.
3) *NEW* Students who have not turned in their homework by Friday will be benched Friday during Recess.
Homework:
- Independent reading for 20 minutes (No reading log -- they will be tested on their independent reading every two weeks.)
- MyMath: Chapter 6, Lesson 7 (p. 371-372) Finish: Independent Practice (p. 369-370) if necessary.
- Science: Read pages 30-34 from science book. Answer questions on page 35.
- Finish: Winter Break writing (rough draft) if necessary. We will be typing this tomorrow.
