Homework is assigned every Monday.  Students will take home their reading bag and their homework notebook.  Both are to be returned to school on Friday. Students will find two leveled books and two "Good Fit" books in their reading bag.  They are to read for at least 10 minutes every night.  It is not necessary to finish reading all books, so long as they are reading for at least 10 minutes each night.  On days when the students have had Guided Reading, they will bring their book home to read.  Those books are to be returned to school the following day. Each student has a reading strategy bookmark in their reading bag.  These bookmarks are to be returned to school along with their reading bag at the end of the week.  Students are to keep these strategies in mind when reading at home. Reading Comprehension:  "New Year's Resolutions" Math:  "Studying the Facts" Spelling:  Study words.  Test Friday. On Friday, we will have a special post-Christmas Show and Tell.  Students may bring in any one item so long as they can fit it in their bookbag.  It is best if students leave expensive and/or easily breakable items home, just in case.
