  This week we...  Reading: When Mosquitos Buzz in People's Ears Math: Reviewing of Go Math Social Studies: A Community's Geography Science: N/A

• Spelling words: Every Friday the students will need to copy down the spelling words from school notes for their homework.

• Vocabulary: It is very important that the students have a dictionary and thesaurus with them at school so they can complete their definitions, synonyms, antonyms, and sentences during the week. If they don’t bring the reference books they will not be able to complete their assignment. The dictionary requested is the Scholastic Children’s Dictionary (the one with the frog on the cover).

Homework varies for Math, Science and Social Studies. They are responsible for copying down their homework in their planner at the beginning of each day. Homework will be collected and checked every day during morning work time. Students are responsible for doing their homework every night and turning it in the following day. Students who turn in ALL homework assignments each month will participate in the breakfast club. Students in the breakfast club will be rewarded with breakfast during morning work. Students that are missing homework assignments will result in a note in their planner to notify the parent. <span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;"> Tests: Science and Social Studies are given every other week. Please make sure to check your emails for the information that describes what and when the assignments are due. Just to confirm and to make sure there are no confusions: The Science and Social Studies questions are located throughout the lesson. For Social Studies, you can find these questions by a blue circle that states Review. For Science, you can find them by a red check mark. <span style="display: block; line-height: normal; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left: 0in; margin-right: 0in; margin-top: 0in; text-align: justify;">** Folders: ** Friday folders are sent home every Friday and are to be returned on Monday. Inside this folder, you will have their weekly assignments, school or office information, weekly reminders and graded classwork that can be kept at home. Any notes or documents that need to be signed and returned will be sent home in their blue/homework folder. I will place labels on the pockets to specify which side to place the appropriate documents. In the left pocket, will be homework that has been checked and any notes that need to be sent to and from school during the week. In the right pocket, will be homework that needs to be checked. Please make sure to clear out the folder at the end of each week.
