Math Homework/NWEA Testing

Parents,

Math homework will begin next week, once we start Lesson 1.  The students have been introduced to the first Topic in Module 1, which is focused on Place Value.  We have taken a pre-test and looked at vocabulary words for Topic A.  Before I begin Lesson 1, I want take the NWEA Math test, that way we can be done with testing and dig in to the first Topic without interruption. So, we will testing tomorrow and Friday for Math and Language Usage.

Look for the day’s homework assignment in their planner or in my weekly newsletter.  It will always be practice from that day’s lesson.  So the first homework assignment will be given on Monday.  See the Math Homework Expectation letter below.

Dear Parents,

 

Your child has received a Math Homework workbook that includes homework pages for each lesson that was taught to them in class.  After a lesson has been taught, the teacher will assign the homework assignment that needs to be done at home. All homework assignments will be a review and extra practice on that day’s lesson.  Look for the exact assignment for the day/week in your child’s planner each night and/or the blog.

 

Your child can keep this Math Homework workbook at home during the week.  We are going to ask that students bring their workbook to school each Friday (or a specific day told by the teacher) so that it can be checked.  Homework will be counted as a credit/no credit participation grade. We will not go through and mark questions correct or incorrect. If your child struggled with a specific problem/s, we will be happy to go over it with them in class.  

 

Eureka Math is a new math program that the district purchased for all grade levels this year. We are learning and determined to implement this program and utilize the materials with success, so this will be a learning experience for all of us:)  Thank you for your support and help at home with ensuring your child is getting the most from this new program. We will be sure to post Parent Tips and videos to the blog to best assist you in helping your child with Math.  

 

If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask.  Communication is the key to success!

 

Thank you,

 

4th grade teachers
