HOMEWORK
We have a lot of kiddos that are not getting homework completed.
Math: They will have nightly math homework Monday thru Thursday, either on paper or on the computer.
Reading: They also have 120 minutes of reading each week from Friday to Friday that needs to be recorded in their agendas. This will be recorded in txconnect the second nine weeks. It will not be part of their average for grades, but you will know each week if they are completing their reading.
Back Row: Karen LaCombe, Melinda Hoover
Front Row: Jennifer Mackie , Reagan Habermacher, Melissa Reagan, Abbey LarremoreHere's what's happening in 5th grade this week:
Math
What's Happening This Week?
STAAR Review
-Students will be practicing all of the skills that they have learned this year in preparation for next week's test.
-Please reinforce the use of careful active strategies. Sketch or draw to help keep your brain focused on what the question is asking. Remember you are doing this to help yourself and not please anyone else. First is not always best.
Check your student's planners for homework assignments this week. Math homework is assigned Monday through Thursday every week. This week, homework comes from our district practice resource for STAAR. Math journals should also be used to study skills we learn in class.
Science
Organisms and Environments
Setting up a Terrarium
-Planting seeds and observing changes in the environment.
Food Webs and Food Chains
-Understanding the role of each organism in a food web.
Solving the Mystery of Greentown
What's happening to cause frogs and plants to die?
Language Arts
- We are working on Poetry again this week.
- We will also be reviewing all of our genres, fiction, nonfiction, drama, poerty, biographies.
- We will be having rotations on Thursday and Friday and each teacher will be taking an area which has been a struggle this year to do some final review for STAAR. We will have 3 reading sessions and 3 math sessions for those two days.
- For homework this week they do have a review packet in the front of their binders that they can share with you and use for review.
This week we have 120 minutes of reading homework, 30 minutes can come from Istation!! Homework grades are not being put into txconnect. They will not effect grades, but it will show up so that you know if they are completing homework. Remember our goal is to get them ready for next year and a lot of classes will have homework count as 10% of their grade. This is a great time to talk to them about averages, and show them how missing assignments can hurt their grades. On the flip side show them how doing their homework and getting that 100 can help as well.
