On this website you will find some helpful reminders of classroom procedures and hints to help your child be succcessful in school. 


Homework

Your child will have certain homework assignments weekly. These are as follows:

1) Read for 30 minutes every night. Please have your child write the title of the book they read in their agenda. As a parent, you will sign the agenda each night, acknowledging that they read for 30 minutes.

2) Spelling. Your child has weekly spelling homework. Spelling words will be copied down weekly in their agenda. The direction sheet should be in their 3-ring binder. Please also see spelling directions on the bottom of this page. They will choose three activities to complete and turn in each Friday. 
Spelling words 1/25-1/29- covered, happened, passed, pulled, morning, sing, king, rock, black, complete, questions

3) Writing. Your child will complete three two-paragraph writing entries each week. These should be written in their writing homework notebook. This will also be turned in Friday morning.

              Reading



Everyday your child is expected to read for 30 minutes. Your child should write the title of the book they read each night in their agenda. As a parent, you will sign that they have read. 

Reading groups will take place at least 3 days per week in reading. There I have different activities used to meet the needs of all the students. This gives me a chance to work with students on their reading level as well as give the students a chance to feel successful during reading instruction. The ultimate goal is to move all students up to the proper reading level for our grade.

We are currently working on our theme That's Amazing. 

We are also preparing for the EOG (already) each week by reading practice EOG passages and discussing how to find the best answers. You may hear your student talk about their UNRAAVEL strategy, it is explained below:

Underline the title
Now predict the passage 
write down on your paper what the story's about
Run through the paragraphs 
number them one by one. 
You know it's a new paragraph because it will indent
Are you reading the questions?
Are the important words circled? 
look at them closely, write down what they mean
Venture through the passage
read it so carefully, if you think you hear an answer make it stand out
Eliminate the wrong answers
Let the correct answer be found
write down where you found it and how you know it's right!



Writing
Each student will be required to write three two-paragraph entries per week. These should be written in their writing homework notebook.  I am looking for the focus and organization.  It is important to allow your child to write.  I want to see how your child writes-please do not make corrections on this assignment.  

Social Studies

We are studying all about North Carolina.  We will begin by studying the geography of North Carolina. We will also discuss early America and how North Carolina became a state. Your child may have homework in their social studies book. They answer the questions by writing in their book.
