To all my studious students,
A quick reminder - testing will begin on Monday. Be sure to get to bed at a reasonable time Sunday night!
Have a great weekend.
Mrs. Koue

We will begin testing in our class next Monday and will continue through the week. As you have all heard before, it is important for your child to get a good night's rest and a nutritious breakfast during this time. For my part, I will not assign any homework other than small parts of the heritage report each night.
Thanks so much for your support. Your children are doing wonderful work!

Homework

Math sheet
Finish the four inside pages of the book report (pictures and writing)
Write the final draft of one more paragraph of your heritage report
News Team #4

I sent home a "final tips" sheet and a "checklist" for the final draft of the heritage report today - these should be in their report folders. Please review these with your child as they give important information regarding how the final draft of the report should be completed. Starting today, I will assign parts of the final draft each night. Because everyone has a slightly different history, it's hard for me to say exactly how much to complete each time, but I feel at least 2 paragraphs is a good goal.

Homework

Math: Review problems
Heritage Report: Final draft of introduction and first paragraph or two of the body of the report (Remember to bring report folder back to class each day so you can continue working on the rough draft.)
Social Studies: Study for tomorrow's test
Continue to work on book report pages (due on Friday)

We've been working on the book reports in class for a few weeks now and they are looking great. The completed report is due this Friday. This means that your child may have to bring home a page or two during the week to finish pictures.

I hope everyone has been successful in obtaining information for the upcoming heritage report. Many of my students have been sharing stories about "famous" ancestors already! We will begin the rough draft of the report next Monday - I hope this extra time to gather a few more facts will be welcomed. I will send home complete report guidelines and expectations next Monday as well. I plan on working on the rough draft of the report in class for about a week and a half and then begin assigning parts of the final draft each day to be completed at home. The entire report will be due Wednesday, May 12.
