Fall Homework Packet

You may have noticed that this week's homework packet looks a little different than normal.  It's also a little smaller (as far as pages go) than our other packets have been.  The reason for this is that this packet is quite a bit harder than students are used to getting.  The division pages might be especially difficult for some students, but doing these pages will prepare students for a math test this Thursday.

Front Page/ Cover:  This page is for student use to keep track of their daily assignments.  Students do not need to write anything on this page except their names.

Reading Log:  Nothing new here.

Dialogue Page:  There are several sentences on this page that don't require quotation marks.  We'll be doing a lot of these in class.  We watched a video last Friday to help us review dialogue.  This page should be a review of information we've already covered in class.

Multiplication Page:  This page shouldn't take more than 20 minutes to do.  We have been going over problems like these in class for over a month now.  If your student is struggling with this page, please, let me know so that I can further assist them in class.

Division Pages:  Some students received packets that instruct them to only do a certain number of division problems.  Others were instructed to choose one page and complete that page only.  We have been struggling with long division in class.  Some of us are starting to understand the process, but many of us are still having a hard time.  I'm hoping that, by working one-on-one with parents, more students will master this skill of long division.  It's a tough one!
