Daily Homework for Students
Dear Students, Each day, you are expected to study the materials you learned (refer to the Reading and Writing Notebook), read a book of your choice that's appropriate for your reading level for at least 30 minutes, and finish any unfinished classwork as homework. What's due each day of the week? Monday through Friday: 1. READ a leveled book and log reading minutes in the Reader's Notebook with parent signature. It is highly recommended that you read at least 30-40 minutes every night. Don't forget to "stop and jot" some answers to the comprehension questions for your level. 2. Practice 5 sight words in the Sight Words List. You might also want to look at Fry's Instant Sight Words daily for more sight words to spell and memorize. 3. Study spelling & vocabulary of the week from the Grammar, Spelling, and Vocabulary Book. 4. Work on your Social Studies or Science Project research. Presentations are due every 12 weeks. 5. Memorize at least 5 of the 50 States and Capitals each day, try singing along the Fifty Nifty States and finish any unfinished classwork. For 5th Graders, here's a song with map. Below are some questions to make you think about the landmarks and countries world wide. 6. Answer assigned daily math problems. |

Materials We Use in Class (for the Back-to-School list, check out the Summer Vacation Homework below.)
Grammar, Spelling, and Vocabulary Workbook
Students who finish the assigned practice work for the day in both Spelling and Grammar may opt to leave it in the classroom. An optional activity is suggested below each practice page for those who wish to enrich their learning. Any unfinished assigned work for the day becomes homework.
Word Study Cards
Create "Word Study Cards" using the front of the index card to write the word and a picture to represent the word, and the back to write the synonym, antonym, a sentence, rhyming word, prefixes and/or suffixes.
Reading and Writing Notebooks
Read one book or several chapters in a week. Then, to practice the skills you learned in class, such as identifying the main idea, the problem, or the characters in a story, use post-its. The focus for each week differs. Check your Reading Notebook. The Writing Notebook is used for your writing ideas for prose and poetry.
Math Notebook
Answer the homework problem related to the lesson of the day and practice basic math facts and skills such as skip counting, groupings, and use of math vocabulary.
Projects Notebook (For Science and Social Studies)
Take home your Close Reading Workbook to finish assigned readings or use for Independent Reading Response. However, it is imperative that you bring it back the next school day.
