Part 3 of our Unit 1 Review

Family,

So sorry for the break. Part 3 of our assessment prep is here. We will review this tomorrow before the assessment. See you all soon!

Homework-Unit Review Part 1

Greetings Family,

Homework did go out tonight. Students need to do both sides. We are preparing for our reading unit test on Thursday!

Best,

Ms. Shepard

Social Studies Homework # 2

Folks,

We distributed social studies homework at the end of each class. Class 4.1 has less time with me today and so some additional reading was sent home with each student. They must read and complete the questions on pages 102-105.

Everyone is expected to complete the following sheet:

Social Studies Homework?

Yes,

That's right. Tonight we have social studies for homework.

Class Dojo

Family,

Exciting news! Our level of parent participation in Class Dojo is growing. Be sure to check your email and your scholar's folder. Class Dojo parent account info went out earlier this week on Monday. Yesterday I sent out emails. For those parents who are not as familiar with Class Dojo and its benefits to teacher-parent communication, check out this short clip.

I hope you will sign up! Email me (morgan.shepard@pgcps.org) if you have further questions. 

Grade Reports Went Home

Greetings Family,

Your scholar should have gotten their grade report from me today. With their grade report, scholars also received extra credit. The assignment is optional. Choosing not to do the assignment incur's no penalty on your grade.

Oooops! Mistake on Last Night's Homework!

Greetings Family,

Students respectfully brought to my attention that there was a mistake on last night's homework. How embarrassing. I do sincerely apologize for the certain confusion I caused you all. I did award each class a point, and no child's grade was penalized. We all reviewed homework together.

Thanks for keeping me sharp.

Ms. Shepard

Tonight's Vocabulary Practice

Family,

Tonight's vocabulary practice for our "long U" helps us to understand the spelling patterns of our "long U" sounds. Our homework is as follows:

Practice Unlocking the Prompt with Your Scholar

Greetings Family,

There seemed to be a little confusion about last night's homework. I sent home JUST ONE question for tonight. I know we can get it.

Remember scholars, there are three steps you need to follow:

1. Read the prompt carefully.
2. Circle the key direction verbs and underline the important ideas on the prompt.
3. Explain in your own words, what the prompt is asking you to do.

Just a reminder (as we discussed in class) you do not need to answer the question. You are explaining what the questions wants you to do.

We are having a dance this Friday!

Family,

We are having a dance on Friday! Unfortunately (for Ms. Shepard), this dance will not be a sock hop, but everyone knows cool socks make you dance better. This flyer should have gone home with your scholar:
