I will be out tomorrow at a writing workshop will all of the fifth grade teachers in Brownsburg schools. I am anxious for this training session, as I've seen so many amazing mini-lessons come out of the other grade levels so far!
Please continue to return candle orders for BEF. They will accept all orders through Friday, I believe.
If your child has not turned in a white tshirt, please see to that by Friday please.
Homework: Please keep in mind that ALL homework assignments and/or classwork assignments are practicing the skills we've discussed or worked with in class previously. No student should feel as if they are completing assignments using brand-new information. ALSO, please keep in mind that I always give the kids time to work on assignments at the end of each day (most days). I also like to provide time during the subject blocks for asking questions and/or beginning their work.
Reading: Woodsong story quiz and vocabulary on Friday
Social Studies/Reading: Time for Kids "On the Wings of Monarchs" quiz/handout due Wednesday. (This was given out on Monday for Morning Work. Students had at least 10-20 minutes to complete before we moved on.)
Spelling: Test Thursday (No contract)
Math: Study Link 4.1 due Wednesday
Science: Planet mini-poster due Wednesday (Students had 25 minutes to work on this today.)
Literacy Stations: Common and Proper Nouns handout and Vinland comprehension packet due Thursday. (We started these in stations on Monday and Tuesday. Unless students were working on Inquiry Projects, SRI reading quizzes, or progress monitoring reading with me, they had ample time to get the assignments done during stations.)
