Assignment Sheet

Week of 2/5

My 21st week? I am so excited! Woof! Woof!

1. Welcome!
Assignment sheets are published each week on your website: mrdfourth90.com. You will find your spelling list there also, as well as a copy of the problem of the week.


2. Reading:
Each student is expected to do at least 15 minutes of reading a night. Book Reports are due the first of each new month. Books may be reported in any of the ten ways to do a book report. 1. In January children will have to pick a famous American to read about. (Due Feb. 1st).
3. Spelling Story
Spelling stories are really teaching vocabulary. They give children a chance to creatively use words they may not yet be familiar with. Each child should choose at least 12 words from the spelling list and create a story. Please be creative. Due each Friday. Children receive a new list on the first day of the week, but spelling words can be found at http://mrdfourth90.com/Spelling/spelling_year.htm. Parents can access this list anytime through the week, but it is changed to a new list, usually on Thursday nights.
4. Math Homework: Math tests are sent home for parent signatures each Friday. Please review any errors made with your child, as they are tested multiple times on the same concept. Lesson 12-7 to 13-4 are assigned for the week.
