Homework Happenings for Monday, Dec. 17th

Christmas is almost here, and we are winding down from our first half of the school year!! We are NOT having a spelling list, reading story, or DOLs this week, due to the short time and all the holiday activities we will be having. Math: Chapter Review pp. 212-213 and study for Chpt 7 test tomorrow! Social Studies: We will begin our Native American project presentations today. I can't wait to see all the creative information your children will share with us today! DOn't forget that for each day a project is late being turned in, a letter grade will be deducted. Tomorrow we go to Morningside for our Christmas party with our friends. I have told the students that they may bring a "Santa" or "elf" cap to wear when we go over there, if they wish. We will be sharing Christmas carols and homemade cards with the residents.

Math: Division WB 115-116 **Test on Wednesday!** Spelling: Begin "Story Time!" Due: Wednesday * Social Studies: Finish Native American Tribe Chart *We are introducing a new spelling activity to use for helping with our weekly spelling words. "Tic Tac Toe spelling" will allow your child some choices in what activities they want to complete to show their knowledge of their weekly spelling words. These next weeks before Christmas, I will be introducing some of the activity choices they may try. After Christmas, they will choose three (3) to complete on their own by Thursday. They will still take the pretest on Thursday and the test on Friday.
