The Agenda • What can you do? • Please check your child's agenda nightly. They will have items written down on a daily basis. • Math homework will be assigned daily with a few exceptions. • Any unfinished classwork may come home as homework. All students work at different paces. Some students may find that they will have homework due to their use of time during the day. Some students are also very detailed oriented and this can cause homework.
HOMEWORK • Teaches students to be responsible • Practice skills introduced in class • Students write assignments in Agenda. • Missing homework will be documented in Tuesday Folder. • Students should be reading 100-150 minutes independently weekly to increase fluency. Reading improves all subjects. • Treadwell – Spelling/unfinished class-work • Lewis – Nightly math homework • Please check teacher websites
Study Time Please help us help your child by reviewing study guides for tests, spelling words, and math facts. THEY MUST KNOW THEIR MATH FACTS!!! IT IS A PROVEN FACT THAT THEY NEED THEM TO BE SUCCESSFUL!!!
Tuesday Folder Look for your child to bring home a folder each Tuesday. Inside will be information on grades, upcoming events, and classroom performance. Signature required.
Mrs. Treadwell’s Classroom Library I am happy to share my library but I ask that my students take care of my books. -Please sign them out. -Please return them in a timely manner. -Please replace them if damaged. Scholastic orders help to add books to our classroom as well as donations. Our students have a lot of books to choose from and I want to keep it that way.
Scholastic Book Orders • Points are received for all books ordered and I turn around and order books with those points. Our class also receives 3 free books for each parent order on-line. Please see my website for the Scholastic link and directions. (It is very easy) Thank you in advance for any orders that you may place!! I am a huge reader and I want all of my students to love reading as much as I do. • Please do not feel like you have to order out of each set sent home. • The order sheets seem to multiply faster than you would believe and as soon as the students see them…they want them. • They are also a great resource for library choices. • For more information please see my website.
