Monday, December 11, 2023 Homework
My students will be attending the Santa Secret Shop tomorrow - December 12th, so please bring money and envelopes with list of people you want them to shop for....too fun!
Math - None (Today we worked on a Practice Test to prepare for our test tomorrow. I gave them an optional practice test sheet to take home tonight too if they would like to do for more practice. I can honestly say that we are ready for our Math Test tomorrow. Please keep practicing multiplication flashcards at home as we will be doing a lot of multiplication in the next few weeks.)
Science - None - Bubis only (Today we made our own study guide from the text book pages I provided and bullet points. We will add to these notes with my lecture on Thursday too. Our Chapter 2 test will be on Friday. My class will do this tomorrow.)
Social Studies - None, but D.O.G. is due on Friday (Today we started reading about the Vietnam War, which was a subject area the students wanted to learn about and I was able to fit into my lesson plans for this week. They had to read the intro, Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 today. Then they answered the questions in the comprehension packet which also asked them to tell me what page they found the answer on....this is a very important concept to provide me with evidence of their answers.)
Reminders:
- Christmas Show is this Thursday, December 14 at 6:30pm in the Church. All students must arrive to their classroom by 6pm. Parent's please try to take your child's jacket at drop off to the school. It's one less thing for us to worry about. Also, pick up is at end of performance in Church by coming up to me and checking them out. Thank you and looking forward to the show. Please see Mr. Showstead's email from a week ago letting you know proper attire to wear. Thank you.
- Food pantry collection is on Thursday, December 14th and we want to make this one a huge one right before the holidays. 5th grade has been given cans of Chef Boyardee to donate please. Any donation is much needed and appreciated though. The pantry also needs pancake mix, syrup and canned corn.
- I offer office hours Monday - Thursday if your child needs me to reteach something in Math, Science or Social Studies. Please email me for assistance and we will meet via google meet link.
- I offer afterschool Math group tutoring on Thursday's of every week until 3:15pm. Some weeks we review and some weeks we go ahead and learn the next lessons. We will also work on strengthening our math facts in multiplication. It is $30 per week if you'd like to join. You can come and go from week to week, but it is very beneficial. Contact me with any questions.
