2/3/08 Verbs & Fractions

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

Part 2 (Subject-Verb Agreement): As you’ve seen with the Daily Language Reviews that we do each week, the kids have been studying how to properly form sentences. Tonight’s homework is simple: the students are to choose the correct form of the verb that will match the noun (subject/verb agreement).

Part 3 (Fractions): Please go over math mat 10-2 with your student. Do they understand the difference between equal parts and unequal parts? Can they independently tell you that 1/4 can be referred to as “1 out of 4,” “one-fourth,” or “one quarter”? Do they understand that 1/1, 2/2, 3/3, etc, all mean 1 whole and are thus all equal? Can they tell you how much of this cake here was eaten? All in all, how is your child doing with fractions?

Part 4 (Minute Math): Minute Math is a daily activity. It is not due until Friday.
