A few homework reminders...

         Now that we are about a month into the school year, I figured I would let you know about the homework reminders that I have told the students.  If you could reinforce them at home that would be helpful.  Thanks in advance!

·         MAH and RAH~ parents need to sign each night stating their child has completed the time that is written on the page

·         MAH and RAH~ should be written by the students since this is their homework

·         RAH~ the titles of books need to be capitalized properly and underlined

·         MAH Attached Multiplication Page~ the entire page needs to be completed including the outside border of problems

·         RAH Thinking Page~ The students have been getting a lot of practice with writing down their thinking.  This is expected during RAH.  The ideas at the bottom of the RAH page are just suggestions.  The students have learned about MANY things that they can think about while reading.

 

As of right now, we will not have spelling each week at home.  We are working as a fourth grade team to determine what approach to spelling is best for fourth graders.  I will let you know if/when spelling starts up again on a formal basis.  In the meantime, if your child is writing at home, after they get their ideas on the paper, you could ask them to go back and highlight words that “look wrong” to them.
