Students will read 20 minutes EVERY night for homework. The time will increase to 30 minutes in the second quarter. If your child forgot their planner, check the website. However, please remind students to take responsibility for their planners. I do check that there is a signature each morning before school starts.
They must write their book on their book log. The book log is located in the back of their communication folder. They only need a date and signature when they finish the book. The book should only appear one time.
Example-
1. Matilda 1-14-16 parent signature
(Book Title) Date completed Your signature to show this is correct
NOT SERIES NOT the date started

Students will only be expected to read 20 minutes of their chapter book each night this week. The rest of the time will be spent on research for their informational writing topic.
They will be prepared to do this on their own. They will need to find at least one fact for each subtopic each night. They can use a book from your public library, or the internet. They must cite their source, so I know where their research came from.
Example:
Topic: Penguins
Subtopic #1- Diet
Subtopic #2- Habitat
Subtopic # 3- Physical characteristics
******They already know their subtopics
They have three subtopics This means by Friday they have collected four facts per subtopic. This is a total of 12 facts all week. They have picked their own topics, so they will enjoy this activity.
They will also have their Southeast Labeling quiz on THURSDAY. There is a game to use for practice under social studies.
There will be no passage this week, so students can focus on their research for their informational writing.

What I Read- Most of America's chocolate was
sent to soldiers overseas during

Americans valued soldiers enough to
do that.
