Homework due 10/16: Butterflies worksheet, pg. 209

We have been studying butterflies in class. We also happen to have a Painted Lady butterfly pupa. Hopefully it will emerge as an adult butterfly soon! (:

Don't forget, reading log and spelling sentences are due 10/16 as well.

I typically won't have time to post all of the spelling words, but I thought I would today because there is a review spelling test this week:
mix, zip, mud, drift, twig, strap, crept, swift, crust, lunch, hush, such, truck, brim, elf, pinch, stump, cactus, shift, third, thick. Those students interested in the bonus words can copy them off the board from the classroom.

The homework due Friday is: Write each spelling word in a sentence.

Wednesday's homework, due Thursday, is to finish a subtraction facts worksheet. There will be no homework assigned Thursday or Friday except the reading log. New spelling words will not be given out this Friday. We are spending next week reviewing the 1st quarter spelling words. There is no school Monday and Tuesday. Have a splendid weekend!

I have decided to extend the due date on spelling sentences. Each Monday, writing each spelling word in a sentence will be due on Friday. The reading log is also always due on Friday. Every other assignment is due the following school day, unless otherwise noted. Tuesday's assignment, due Wednesday is: Saxon Math's Lesson Worksheet 30-1a and 30-1b. The worksheet requests that parents keep it, so please write me a one line note letting me know that your child completed the work at home. Please let your children make mistakes on the homework. After they make mistakes, it is greatly appreciated if you teach them at home, and let them correct the errors. Thanks for this and all the other wonderful things you as parents and students do!

Homework comes home almost EVERY Monday through Thursday. With no exceptions, the reading log should be turned in at the end of each school week (usually a Friday) with 70 minutes of reading logged. On occasion, I will not give homework on a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, or Thursday. This is usually because of a nearby holiday or school function. So far this has only happened once for Open House. I will also not be giving homework this Thursday, October 8th, 40th Day. As a school and as a teacher we are giving all the incentives we can for students to show up on this incredibly important funding day. Each student can earn thousands for the school by showing up this one day! We are having field activities, a movie, cotton candy or popcorn, soda, free pajama dress down, free snow cones, a purchase only pizza and cookie lunch, a read-in, and more! For a trial period, I will be posting nightly homework:

Every Monday, unless otherwise noted, the homework is to write each spelling word in a sentence. Tuesday's homework to be posted next.
