Ronnie and Mia practiced math on ixl.com last night.
More students are turning in their homework. The vocabulary sentences are looking fantastic. Students are practicing the use of conventions (capitalizing the beginning of a sentence, end punctuation, proper grammar).
1. For homework over the weekend, students will continue to write a fable. In the Language Arts notebook, your child started writing a fable by telling the moral of the story first. Knowing the lesson to be learned in the story gives the writer direction. The fable can be as long as is necessary. However, I suggest parents provide some guidance so that this fun activity will not end up in frustration. FABLES may be word processed and saved. Documents may be forwarded to me under the child's name and "fable" (Oz fable). I require a hard copy be brought in to school on the due date. DUE MONDAY
2. Practice the 20 vocabulary words! Some words that are a challenge to the students are: different, sour, delicious, violet, and special. Many of the words that have silent letters in them or are not spelled exactly the way they are pronounced. Therefore parents, you can assist by ensuring your child can spell these words with ease. DUE MONDAY
3. Read and record. DUE TUESDAY
4. One journal entry per day. DUE TUESDAY
5. Students have random homework assignments this weekend. They are mainly assignments that need to be re-done or have not been attempted already. Most of those assignments are in spelling. DUE MONDAY
6. Clarification on the math sheet that everyone thought was too easy. It is simply a helpful tool for parents or others to say to the Grade Two student. The G2 student should practice giving the answers as fast as possible and also to memorize this basic arithmetic. Many papers were returned to me with answers on them done by the student. This was not what the sheet was intended for. However, now the person drilling the G2 student has an effective answer key! The papers were returned to students. Please use them for practice.
