Math:

In math, we are reviewing applying basic math skills to everyday situations. Continue using flash cards at home to help with fact memorization.

 

Social Studies:

In social studies, we are learning about Cinco de Mayo and why it is celebrated. We are learning to speak some Spanish and are making our own Spanish dictionaries.

 

Science:

We are still growing our plant people. We are observing the changes in the plants. We are learning about what a plant needs to survive and how it takes in water and food.

 

Language Arts:

Writing stories; using correct punctuation and capitalization. We are also learning the different parts of speech.

 

Homework

 

I believe that homework is important! Doing homework assignments routinely, thoroughly and accurately is one of the best ways to ensure a student’s success in class.

 

I believe that homework supports the building of independence and self-reliance in our students as they learn to improve life-long study habits.

 

Types of Homework You Can Expect:

1. Completion—anything not completed during the school day.

2. Practice—review and reinforcement of skills presented in class.

3. Preparation—individual preparation for the next day’s activities.

4. Extension—taking skills learned in the classroom and expanding on them at home.

5. Make-up work—Remember, your child has 1 day for every day missed to make up assignments missed while they were out.

 

**YOUR CHILD’S AMOUNT OF HOMEWORK PER NIGHT SHOULD BE 30-45 MINUTES. Please note that these are for an “average” student. Some students may need more time, some students actually prefer to spend more time, and some will need less time.
