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:

Language Arts
- We will be learning about using quotation marks this week.
- We will also be reading about different animals of War. Our story this week tells about the use of Pigeons during WWI.
- 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 90 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.
