 Make Up Work

Just a reminder that students who miss school work due to illness or other absence will be given their make up work upon return to school.  If your student misses a spelling test, he/she is expected to make up the test the day he/she returns to school unless there has been an extended absence (3 or more days).

Spelling Practice

I have added a few “bonus” words each week to our spelling pretest.  The idea behind these words is to provide students with an extra challenge.  Students will not be penalized for missing these words.  They cannot hurt their grade, only help it.  Also, students can go on to the MacMillan-McGraw website (macmillanmh.com) to find links to games to practice their spelling words.  Another great site is spellingcity.com.  We will be looking at these sites during our computer time too.

Specials Schedule

We have specials each day from 1:10 – 2:10.  Each week we will rotate through Art, French, Gym and Music.  Our library day this year will be on Monday morning.  Please have your students bring back their library books so they can check out new books the following week.  Our computer day will be on Tuesday afternoon. 

Homework

Students will have math homework (usually a Home Link) Monday – Wednesday.  Thursday nights they will have their spelling test to study for in preparation for Friday’s test.  They will take their spelling pretests on Fridays and will also receive their spelling list for the week.

This is the webpage we are using to take our math facts test in the computer lab.  If your student would like to practice his or her facts at home we use Level 10 with 5 minutes time for addition and multiplication and 7 minutes for subtraction and division.  Have fun!
