Update from Ms. R

The homework for this week is to write a story in the homework writing journal about the "ring pop" candy given out to each student on Friday. There is also a math worksheet with some multiplication facts to practice and some bar graph interpretation questions. This homework is due on THURSDAY, January 22th (since Friday is a P. A. Day).

Note to Parents:

1. The class is working towards all students in Room 5 learning their multiplication facts from 0 to 10. The students have learned lots of tips and tricks to help them learn the facts but there are ten facts that everyone finds a bit tricky, (6x6, 6x7, 6x8, 6x9, 7x7, 7x8, 7x9, 8x8, 8x9, 9x9). Students were asked this week to practise these facts. The children made fact cards and took them home this week to help them practise.

2. The students answered the survey question "Do you read at home each day?" Half of the class self-reported that they do not read at home each day. Please know that although Room 5 has weekly homework, there is also daily homework. It is expected that the students study the weekly word wall (spelling) words each day and read for a minimum of 20 minutes each day.
