Math Homework
Students will receive a perimeter and area math packet for homework this week in place of the weekly math sheet they usually complete. The weekly math sheet has a lot of fractions on it this week and we have not started our fraction unit yet.
ELA Homework
Some students are starting book clubs next week. Any work not finished in class will be homework. It is important that the students stay caught up on all of their book club assignments. You can see their assignments by logging in to their Google Classroom accounts. Thank you for help in making sure your child is successful.
Reading: Read 20 minutes daily
POW: No POW next week!
Achieve 3000: Students are required to pass 2 more activities scoring 75% or higher. Achieve homework must be completed by THURSDAY evenings by 10:00 pm.
Valentine Exchange
