Homework Updates for September 22nd

Whew!  Back to normal today! Here is what is happening:

Math: please check your child's agenda for math assignments.  Fortson math class does not have any new homework assignments. You can check the math page to see what concepts we are working on.

ELA/Reading:  We will not be starting a new unit this week. I have decided to work through SS Weekly to help reinforce our Social Studies standards as well as reading strategies.  Students are working through an assignment in class.  If they do not finish it by Thursday, then it is possible that it will become homework.

If your student has not finished a chapter book, I will be assigning Friday study hall to help him/her finish it before the end of the nine weeks.  Most of the students have finish at least one and most are working toward our challenge (which is five books this nine weeks).  I think it is reasonable to require students to finish at least one chapter book on their level in a nine week period. Thank you for your support!

Science: We have started our new unit, Interdependence (Ecosystem).  I put some resources on the blog page for Science and you can also use the Science textbook.  Students are taking notes in the interactive notebook and this should have all the required content.

Social Studies:  They will be finishing explorers. Please note that the Fakebook pages are due on Friday.  They also have a major unit test over this material.  Please refer to the interactive notebook for content to study. The textbook is a great resource as well.

Tuesday folders went home today! Please check this folder for important information.
