Homework Packet 7

You do not need to worry about doing anything on the front page--that has a picture of a bison on it.  That's only for the kids' use if they feel they need to keep track of their work and assignments.

Reading Log:  Over the weekend, kids will write a summary of what they read.  Here's what the other stuff means:

Evaluate:  Give an overall opinion of the reading.  Is it interesting?  Did the author do a good job?  Is it important information, or is it more for entertainment?  What would you change about it if you could?  Or is it perfect as it is?  Why or why not?

Question:  Write down a question or two about the reading.

Predict and Infer:  Write a prediction of what you think will happen next in your story.

Monitor and Clarify:  What parts of the reading were tricky?  Did you have to go back and reread any parts?  Did you have to use the pictures to help you?  Did you use your phonics decoding strategy or word learning strategy anywhere?

By the Shores of Silver Lake:  You know the drill!  (Ignore the directions on the page.  Keep doing it the way we've been doing it.)

Adjectives:  The directions are fairly straight-forward.  On the paragraph at the bottom of the page (called "My Cat"), students may insert ANY adjective (so long as it is appropriate).  These adjectives can be silly or serious.  Be creative!

And and But:  Follow the page directions.  If students have questions, I would be more than happy to help them do a few questions here in class.

Topic Sentences:  Students do not have to do this page.

Middle Sentences:  Students do not have to do this page.

Problem Solving:  Students are to solve the math problems.  THEY WILL PROBABLY NEED TO DO THEIR WORK ON A SEPARATE SHEET OF PAPER AND ATTACH IT TO THE PACKET.  We have been struggling with story problems in class.  Hopefully, this isn't too much of a struggle to accomplish.

Subtraction Facts:  Complete the simple subtraction facts.

This packet will be due THURSDAY, OCTOBER 16, as it is only a four day week next week.
