Homework

General Homework.

 * =====Reading - students who received Stanine 1-4 on their PAT test should be filling in their reading log. You must read it aloud to a family member. If you are going to read to a younger brother or sister make sure your parent/caregiver is aware of you reading so they can sign your reading log. Students who did not receive a reading log should still be reading to your parent and they should be asking you questions on what you are reading. It can be anything; newspaper article, poem, recipe. Students should be reading for 10-15 mins a night, Monday-Thursday, and that should also include discussion and question time.=====
 * ====The 1st two Reading Comprehension strategies Room 3 are learning about is Activating Prior Knowledge and Predicting. Getting the students to think about their own experiences before they have even opened their book helps to put their minds into gear. Predicting about what may happen next helps students to think more about the characters and setting, and helps them to think about what is happening.====
 * ====Spelling - will be Topic words around Science or Matter. If you find the words are too easy for your child then I am trying to teach the students more about how or when to use the word and in what context. Ask your student to define what the word means as if they were explaining it to a 9-10 yr old and to put the word into a sentence. If it helps the students can write these into their notebooks.====
