Homework for the week of 19 April

Welcome back from spring break! We did not have HW last week, but will be returning to normal HW assignments this week. Let's keep working hard, learning, and enjoying our great school.


Here are the homework assignments for this week. Each day students write their homework assignments in their agendas.


English:
Spelling:
This week will will have 10 High Frequency Words.
Spelling tests will be on Wednesday (5BB) and Thursday (5BC).
Each night I will send home a paper that the students have started in class. Study the words by finishing the worksheet, or practicing how to spell each word.

Reading: We will be reading the story Owen and Mzee in class over the next two weeks. this is a non-fiction (true) story.
Read the story Oceans Alive and think about the what you are learning about life in the ocean. There is also a review of food chains on page 158!
Please read through the story Oceans Alive on pages 145-191 After reading, students should complete the workbook pages 192-206.

This is A LOT of reading and workbook pages, so I am giving students 2 weeks to complete the story and pages. The story is divided into chapters, so reading a chapter each night will allow you to complete the story on time.

Story:  Oceans Alive on pages 145-191
Workbook: pages 192-206
