Part 1 (Daily Reading Homework): your child needs to read at least 20 minutes every night. Please record what they read, how long they read for and then initial it. Thanks!

Part 2 (Adjectives): We have worked on adjectives and the kids know that adjectives are describing words. I’d like your student to complete the Adjective Homework. Please make sure they can tell you why they are answering the way they are.
Color adjectives: blue, green, red, pale...
Size adjectives: huge, little, tiny...
Number adjective: six, two, many, few, nine...

Part 3 (Minute Math): Minute Math is a daily activity. It is not due until Friday.

Part 4 (Estimating Sums): Math Mat 8-2 goes right along with what we did yesterday (rounding to the nearest 10). Please work with your student to make sure they understand the concept. First your student should figure out how much the tens place adds up to and then how much the ones places add up to and then how much they add up to together. 29+25 goes like this: 2 dimes plus 2 dimes equals 40 cents. 9 cents plus 5 cents equals 14 cents. 40+14=54 cents. Two quarters wouldn’t cover that cost.
