Homework

Week of March 30 - April 2

I hope you all enjoy a relaxing Spring Break spending time with family & friends. It's hard to believe there are only 33 school days left in 5th grade. Time is flying and we're truly rocketing toward the end of the year! There's still a lot of learning and growing ahead, and I'm so proud of the progress our preserve has made. As we head into the final stretch, we're encouraging the kids to "keep moving forward", be good humans, & to finish strong! This herd has a ton of potential, & I'm excited to see how they wrap up their elementary school journey. Thank you for your continued support!

Donations needed:

Kleenex & Clorox wipes to help keep our classroom clean & germ free! Thank you!

AR Quizzes: For the third trimester, students will work toward earning 10 AR points each month (March, April, and May) by reading books and completing quizzes for each one. Points must be earned within the same month and do not roll over. This helps students practice meeting monthly goals and prepares them for middle school expectations, where students earn points by quarter rather than by individual book requirements. Thank you for your continued support in helping your child develop strong reading habits!

Points are awarded based on quiz scores. For example, if a book is worth 5 points and a student scores 70% on the quiz, they will earn 3.5 points. To earn full points for a book, students must score 100%. Scores under 60% earn zero points.

Students should independently read chapter books and complete their quizzes on RenPlace, which is available at school during school hours. They are expected to read for 30 minutes each night as homework and may choose books within their reading range. If a student wants to read a book outside their range, teacher approval is required. Reading levels and assignments can be found on Google Classroom.

In the private comment section include: title of book, IRL, & point value earned after each quiz. Submit the assignment after you have earned all 10 points.
