Week 8 - Wow, we have been busy!
Good afternoon,
Here is the Homework that has been assigned for this week
Monday 23rd March - Friday 27th March.
Reading –I ask that the students read for a maximum of 15 minutes each night. If possible, can you ask your child to read out loud to you regularly?
Please make sure that your child writes the name of the book they are reading and the number of pages read in their diary in the appropriate space.
RAZ KIDS - I will be checking with the students today if their log in details are up to date and I will be setting a Flight Check to be completed by the end of the week.
Diary –the students are given time every day to write all appropriate notes in their diary. This is an important communication tool for all. It is also an important skill to have in terms of time management and personal organisational skills. It also helps to keep you apprised of upcoming events.
I ask that you check your child’s diary each night and sign it. I also use the diary as a way to let you know how your child is going or if I need to see you?
Maths – IXL– each day the students will be assigned an IXL Maths task to complete at home that night. These tasks are aligned to our learning in class and provide a way to practise and consolidate the skills from our classwork.
- Monday – F.1 Elapsed time
- Tuesday – F.4 Convert between 12 and 24 hour time.
- Wednesday – F.5 Transportation Schedules
- Thursday- F.3 Find start and end times
This is done to a maximum of 15 minutes.
Spelling -students will complete a Look, Say, Cover, Write, Check of all of their list words using the given framework. I ask that their words are corrected, either by you or by the student.
They will also need to complete one activity each night using the given Spelling Activities Rubric.
BTN – each Wednesday in class we will watch the current Behind the News episode. As a class we discuss the focus story and collaborate together to produce the main ideas and supporting information. As the year progresses, I will withdraw the scaffolding provided during these times.
Your child is asked to complete a Written Report for the given story. This will be due the following Wednesday. This is to be typed in Pages on their iPad.

Edmodo – I have asked that your child checks Edmodo every night when possible. This is a closed group in which the students are able to contact each other to ask relevant school work questions as well as complete set tasks.
Learning - this week we have been very lucky to have the amazing Casey Morrison come in to share some of her expertise with us! We had a great time doing some drawing and mixing paint to learn about primary and secondary colours!
