With a new year comes new happenings in 5L. In an effort to get your child more prepared for middle school, here are some important changes to know about:
- In conjunction with nightly math homework, weekly math review sheets will be sent home on Monday. These are always due on Friday. These sheets will cover any concept previously taught this year. They can be completed nightly, or in chunks. It's really up to your child!
- If your child forgets to turn in their math homework, it will count against their overall grade. If your child is absent, no worries! I certainly am understanding of varying circumstances that could interfere with homework completion.
- Word Study has begun. Spelling words will be given to your child on Fridays and they will be tested the following Friday. The majority of their word work will be done in school, but they will take their word work journal home with them if you would like to quiz them.
