Changes to Thursday's Homework

Parents,

Please note the changes to Thursday's homework (written in red).


Thursday
1. Spelling/Vocabulary: Use syllabication to create 3 spelling pyramids for the Wordly Wise 3 words and study for your spelling test. (Remember, to study the definitions, too.)
2. Math: Use the Unit 1 Review, class notes, etc. to study for the Unit 1 assessment (which will cover place value, arrays, prime & composite numbers, factors, divisibility rules, square numbers & square roots, & prime factorization).
3. Language Arts: Continue developing/revising rough draft of persuasive essay.
4. Reading: Maniac Magee: 1) Reread sections of Maniac Magee and write 5 similes and 5 metaphors found in the book. (Be sure to include the page number where you found the simile or metaphor.) 2) Write a 1-2 paragraph response to what we’ve read so far in Maniac Magee. (For example: What did you think about the text? Can you make any connections between what you read and your life to another book, movie, or TV show, or to anything else you’re familiar with?)

Friday & Labor Day Weekend ~ Enjoy the Holiday!
1. Reading: Maniac Magee: Finish reading through Chapter 39.
