Fifth Grade has homework every
night of the week. The
students should spend about 50 minutes a night on homework and study.
Reading
Fifth graders should
spend about 30 minutes reading each night or a total of about 3 to 4 hours
per week.
Reading is necessary to build
vocabulary, stimulate brain development and practice skill and
comprehension strategies.
Common Knowledge:
This is a page of 12 general
knowledge questions. The
students are able to work on this at home and at school. They may use reference books, such
as encyclopedias, internet search engines, and in cases of total
frustration, parents. I expect
all answers to be in complete sentences, with correct capitalization and
punctuation. This is handed
out on Monday and is due on Friday.
Math:
Everyday Math Study Links will
be sent home two or three times a week. These math pages are always due the next day. On nights that I donŐt send home
study links, students should practice multiplication and division basic facts.
Before a unit test students will
have a study guide to help them prepare and study for the test.
Spelling:
Students write their spelling
words in their planner each week.
We do some spelling practice in class, but these words also need to
be practiced at home each night as well. The test is on Friday.
