Homework

This week we have been introducing the vocabulary homework process to students. Each week students will get a list of 18-24 vocabulary words that focus on a few specific prefixes, suffixes, or roots. The students will be given a paper copy of the list on Mondays. We will read through the list, talk about the meaning of the prefix, suffix or root, and sort the words. Students then have the option of completing the homework in their notebook or in Google Classroom. Homework is due on Friday mornings and students will take a vocabulary quiz in class on Friday. The quizzes are typically a fill in the blank sentence, match the word to the definition, or a crossword puzzle. This is what the weekly list will look like (these are the words for next week):

In class this week we worked on setting up our document in Google Classroom and writing paraphrased sentences. Your child should be able to complete this assignment with minimal support. If you have questions, please send me an e-mail!
