Homework: I had many questions about homework last night so I wanted to make sure everyone understood what everyone should be doing.

The students will have the following homework each week:

Reading: All children were given a reading log, they should be reading each night and filling out the back of the log on which reading strategies they used.

Writing: All students should have a writing journal at home.  They should write for 5 minutes each night about a topic of their choice.  They may keep this at home or share it with the class if they wish.

Spelling: Every student has a Tic-Tack-Toe spelling paper.  At the bottom are the words.  They must choose at least 3 activities to complete at home.  Parents will check their work and initial when the activities are complete.  They need to turn in the Tic-tac-toe with parent initials only on Thursdays.   We will use these papers to give the spelling tests on Fridays.  We had several students who didn’t turn in the spelling homework and got a zero for the assignment.  They student’s who didn’t turn it in are students #4, 7, 9, 12,16.  If you turn them in next week you may have credit for the assignment.

Math:  All students should be working on memorizing their math facts.  2nd graders should have addition and subtraction facts memorized.  3rd graders should have multiplication and division facts memorized by the end of the year.  If they get them all memorized sooner we will start process sheets.  If 2nd graders want to go higher they may.  I have passed out the password to get on the Everyday Math Online website for the 3rd graders.  The 2nd graders will get theirs from Mrs. Poster.   This website is a good resource for extra math practice at home.

Study Island:  I will be creating Study Island accounts for all students.  This is an optional great website for extra practice in Math, Language Arts, Science or Social Studies.
