Homework

 
Parents, please check their agenda book for daily homework.  If it is 
checked off, that means they turned it in already.

Beginning the second week of school, your child will have a Math 4 Today 
sheet and a DLR (Daily Language Review sheet)in their homework folder.  They 
are to do one row of math each day, and 5 problems a day on DLR.  Ex: If it 
is Monday, they would do Monday's DLR for homework.  We will check it all in 
class the next day. Friday's DLR will be done together before the QUIZ on 
Friday.  So this means your child will have this expected for homework every 
Mon. through Thurs.  Friday and the weekend are free from DLR and 
Math4Today, but other homework could be sent for the weekend.

 
New this year is the expectation as the handbook states, that all 4th graders 
are to know their addition, subtraction, and multiplication facts before the 
end of the year.  There will be a school wide test used by all teachers to 
see if your child has met these goals.  I provide multiplication flash cards 
at their level if needed.  For example, if they are trying to memorize the 
2's, then I give them just the 2's to study.  That way it isn't so 
overwhelming.  A good place to keep these is in the plastic pocket at the 
back of their agenda. They will be graded on these as Mastered or Needs 
Improvement.

In your new agenda, somewhere put your address correctly in a 3 line 
fashion, as if you are addressing an envelope.  We will use this throughout 
the school year.
