**Book-It**
Book-It is a required assignment in our class. From October through March
your child will be required to read 300 minutes a month. Monthly sheets to
keep track of time are distributed the 1st day of the month and are due back
the 1st day of the following month. Example: October Book-It sheet is
given out October 1st and due back November 1st. NO SHEET WILL BE ACCEPTED
AFTER THE 1ST OF THE FOLLOWING MONTH. FREE pizza coupons to Pizza Hut are
awarded monthly for the completion of assignment. In addition, Book-It
will be counted as an independent reading grade towards your child's overall
Reading report card grade.
***Book Reports***
Monthly book reports are assigned throughout the year. A cover page
accompanies each book report with detailed instructions as to what is
expected and when the assignment is due. A pre-approved book (by me) is
required unless otherwise stated. Book Reports are a requirement for ALL
students. Each report is counted towards your child's overall
Reading/Language Arts report card grade.
****Tests****
All Spelling and Readings tests are given on Fridays unless otherwise noted.
Additional tests and quizzes are given throughout the week depending upon
the subject matter.
*****Additional Information*****
In addition to nightly homework, PLEASE review with your child his/her basic
math facts nightly. It is the foundation on which all math lessons are
based.
Also, take turns reading with your child nightly. It will build upon their
skills of comprehension and reading fluency.
