Part 1 (Daily Reading Homework): There is no reading homework tonight. I’d rather your student spend time going over the math pre-test that they took today to be ready for tomorrow’s big test. See Part 2 of tonight’s homework... :) Also, I’m not saying not to read... read if you want to... I’m saying that you aren’t required to read tonight.Part 2 (Go Over the Math Test): Tomorrow we are participating in a district-wide math benchmark. It covers everything we’ve learned this year. Today I gave a pre-test over the material. Please review the test with your child tonight and check their understanding. I found that many children are having problems with two-step problems (see problems #12 & #14). Please send your child to school tomorrow well rested, well fed, and ready to think! I am very proud of these kids and know the class will do well.
Part 3 (Reading Comprehension): One of the main focuses of our year has been reading comprehension. Simply reading a book, article, or passage isn’t enough. Readers need to be able to re-tell what they’ve read in their own words! After reading the passage “Pet Day at School” they need to answer 4 questions about it. Please discuss with your children why they are answering the way they are. If there are two good answers is one of them better than the other? Is your child able to tell you why he or she is giving the answers he or she gives?
Part 4 (Minute Math): Minute Math is a daily activity. It is not due until Friday.
