Parents,
--
Math Facts - Our next unit in Math with be addition and subtraction of greater numbers. Students will be expected to be fluent in basic facts in addition and subtraction starting next week. Any students who have not mastered facts in addition and/or subtraction by this time will be asked to master one level of Math Facts in a Flash in morning study hall. If you need practice pages or flash cards for addition or subtraction, please let me know, and I can send some home with your child.
Spelling - We are starting to get into our full routine for spelling. Students are introduced to their words on Monday. We take a pretest on Wednesday using Spelling City. The results are sent home so that students know which words they need to spend more time practicing. On Friday is our test. This is made up of two sentences that contain about half of the 20 words from their list. We also work on capitalization, punctuation, and other language standards in these sentences. Students who miss more than 2 of the words on this test will have an extra practice page to complete the following week. Some students did get one of these today. These need to be completed by Wednesday (before the pretest) and signed by a parent. Last week's spelling test was also sent home today.
HOMEWORK:
MONDAY - students play at least 4 games on https://www.sumdog.com. There is also a free Sumdog app that can be downloaded on Android or iOS devices. We are participating in the Lucas County Contest, so students can try to move their name onto the county leaderboard as they play.
TUESDAY - Accelerated Math
WEDNESDAY - Complete the back page of the Scholastic News and enter answers in Google Classroom. Students then are expected to use a marking pen (red preferably) to mark wrong answers, and then correct. Scholastic News is accessible online at https://sn4.scholastic.com/ and student password is aw2026
THURSDAY - Learning Farm (an assignment will be there when they log in).
