Reading

 

Each child should read for at least 20 minutes a day!!! (That is at least one book!)

 

Please complete and sign the reading log daily.

 

Math

Complete the attached double-sided computation worksheet. Please check their answers and have them correct any mistakes.

 

Writing

 

Complete the attached Writing Prompt.  If you have lost your Buzz Newsletter/Homework Packet and are viewing this from home please choose a picture from home, a magazine or newsletter and write at least 5 sentences to describe it.  Please attach your picture to your homework.

 

All writing prompts need at least 5 sentences!!!!

 

Focus on writing clearly and neatly.  They should begin each sentence with a capital letter and end with a punctuation mark.  Please encourage volume (amount of writing) and stamina (time spent writing) rather than putting a strong emphasis on spelling. Our goal is to create wonderfully creative writers who will gain spelling skills through experience and directed activities. 

 

If you have any questions or concerns please call me in the classroom.

Peace & love,
