We have our books now and are starting our routine! For every lesson (we are on lesson 1), we rip out the practice pages which are sent home in our binders. For homework tonight we are completing ONLY pages 3-4. Pages 1-2 is a family letter. PLEASE READ! The family letter contains useful information and examples that can help with this weeks homework. Every student was sent home with the Instruction book in which we worked on together in class. You can also find it helpful to use those pages (2-3) to help with your homework pages 3-4.
The family letter and practice pages 1-8 are in homework attachments but only pages 3-4 are homework tonight!
KHAN Academy is 20 minutes of practice due by Friday. The skill assigned is called “Intro to Ratios.” You must complete 20 minutes by Friday and work on that skill assigned.
Finally, some students were sent home with a note because they have not completed their basic skill quizzes on ilearn. Take advantage of this opportunity to complete or improve on your quiz scores! Parents must sign the note if one was sent home.
