As we start a new year, many people have getting organized as one of their goals for the year ahead. If you are trying to help make sure you start the year on the right foot with helping your student get organized for the new year, let me remind you what you should expect for homework if your child is in my math class. 3rd Grade Math Homework - Homework will come home nightly Monday through Thursday. It is due back the very next day. Third graders also get a "Pink Practice" on Mondays that is due on Fridays. This is always basic multiplciation/division fact practice. I require that third graders have a homework folder when they walk into class. They should be bringing that two-pocket folder back and forth to class and back and forth to home. Please take a moment to clean it out with them at least weekly since they bring home their corrected work in this too. 4th Grade Math Homework - Just like 3rd grade, these students will get homework Monday through Thursday nights and it is due the following morning. They also have "Pink Practice" that they will get on Monday and it is due on Friday which will help them review their basic facts. 5th Grade Math Homework - Fifth graders have nightly homework Monday through Thursday that is due the following day. For all of my classes, each night's homework is worth 5 points if they did it to the best of their ability with a pencil, put their name on it, and check it thoroughly with us in class the following day (see the document attached below for a breakdown of the points.) Each week's homework is worth a total of 20 points so if you look in the gradebook, you will note the week number and a score out of 20 points for your child each week. Missing points usually mean that they did not have it completed. When students do not have it done, they have to sit in the hall for the beginning of class and finish (then turn it into me for grading.) My biggest concern with late work is that they miss the valuable review that the other students get when we go over the answers before we begin a new topic for that day. How can you know what the homework is each night? If you have a 4th or 5th grader, they have a planner that should have their homework written down. I try to check with every student before they leave each day to make sure they have written in their planner. You can also access my online planbook which allows you to see the homework tab.

3rd grade Math - We have just finished a unit on determining area of rectangles. Our next unit covers data collection, specifically scaled bar graphs and picture graphs. 4th grade Math - These will be taking a test on Thursday on our unit covering factors/multiples and prime/composite numbers. We'll be heading into a few units on fractions very soon. 5th grade Math - We will complete our long-division review unit this week. Our next topic will be operations with decimals (adding, subtracting, multiplying, and dividing,) as well as solving algebra equations dealing with decimals.
