May So Far

Here are some assignments we are working on or have been assigned for the month of May:

Spelling Exercises 25,26
Language Power Lessons 31-36
All rough copies of poems in poetry booklet
Poetry Books (Final Published Copy)
Social Studies Colony project (Due for mid-end of month)
Math Fractions Textbook assignments
Weekly 1/2 page journal entries

There are no birthdays for May so you all get a break from Star Stories!

Also I would like to remind everyone to study for spelling tests. I have noticed a lot of spelling marks go down over the last few weeks. It is important to study at least 10 minutes a night.

Here are some tips/ideas to study:
--write them in different colours 3 times each
--make sentences with your words
--make a word search with your words
--spell them aloud and then check
--practice your list and your sibling's lists together (play school, play games, etc.)
--spell them aloud in the car while driving to an evening activity, or while you are doing chores, setting the table, washing dishes, etc.
--write a story using all your words in it

As well, please keep up with your reading logs. I have not seen some of your for a long time. We read every day during the reading block so I know that you are reading pages! I would LOVE for everyone to enjoy the reading goal treat at the end of the month! Who doesn't love ice cream with sauce and sitting in the sun?? Or would you rather do Language Power guys!?!?!
