English - Red Group - Writer's Workshop

Students have time in class each day to do their English Dittos.  If they need to bring them home for homework, then they aren't using their time wisely.  The due dates listed below represent the last day I will accept them, without marking them late.  Students should be making notes daily in their notebook.

Math - Orange Group - Chapter 10 - Geometry & Measurement

Students are given time in class each day to work on their math problems.  If they have a lot of math homework, then they aren't using their time wisely in class, or they do not know their math facts/factors.  They should be able to look at the number "36" and know that "9 x 4 = 36."  This should be automatic.  Some of the students are very rusty, and it is taking them way too long on each problem because of this.  Please help them set up a process for practicing.  Whatever works for your child - flash cards, a game on their iPad, or Mathletics
