homework tips

Here are a few helpful tidbits about the yellow homework folders:
  • handed out every Monday (or Tuesday if there was no school on Monday)
  • the entire assignment for the week is in the folder...including spelling, reading log and/or project
  • to differentiate spelling levels, the circled list was decided after a pretest
  • use the spelling list to complete spelling portion of homework
  • everything due on Friday
  • I check for completion and neatness

FYI...concerning "math is everywhere" assignment...picture below shows a sample of what I am looking for. Look for at least 5 examples (don't let me stop you if you want to do more!) of math in your life. Be sure to check junk mail, grocery ads, catalogs, magazines, neighborhood newspaper on the lawn, etc. Have fun!
