Good afternoon!
There is a fair amount of Language Arts homework this week.
1) Ten items in their reading journals are due Friday. Each entry is 20 minutes, so I'd advise that the students not save all 200 minutes until Thursday night.
2) We received new spelling words today in preparation for their spelling quiz on Friday. The words are: skateboard, breakfast, hungry, explosion, curious, bruise, flipped, their, there, they're.
3) Also, as part of understanding the words and using them, the students are to write a 3 paragraph story using at least 8 of the words (and all of the last 3). This story is due on Wednesday.
In addition to LA homework...
Social Studies - timeline is due next Monday on plain paper. Personal timeline on the top, and world history on the bottom. See previous post for details.
Health - 8 paragraph story on the twins who made wise and unwise choices in life was assigned today, and it is due on Monday as well. This is an assignment they are writing on their laptops, but they will have class time to work on them in class (if they don't waste time). Even if they can't actually write the story at home, they can plot their story outline anywhere. That might be in their best interest, because some students do not work well when others are around.
