4th Grade Homework

This year, your fourth grader will have the following homework on a regular basis:


1) Everyday Math Study Links (SL) - These are practice/extensions of the current Math lesson, and should come home daily (unless otherwise noted).  They should be returned to class on the following day.  Also, remember to refer to the Study Link answer keys (on the back of the current unit Family Letter).


2) Home Reading Logs - Each student will get a new Reading Log every Friday.  They will need to turn in their previous log (which should be verified and signed by a parent/guardian) each Friday, as well.  Our goal is for fourth graders to be reading at a minimum of 125 minutes per week.  They can choose to read a "just-right" chapter book, to read on FCAT Explorer.com, and to read on the KIDBIZ website.  The links to those sites can be found on our 4th Grade webpage.  Students should have a copy of their login information in their homework/take-home folder.


3) Word Study Journal - Beginning next week, students will bring home a personal Word Study Journal.  They will have 4 separate homework activities to do with their word study words each week.  Journals should come home and come back to school on a daily basis.  Please look for a parent letter this Monday, which will provide you with more information.

These are the three regular homework assignments.  Occasionally, your child might have to finish a piece of writing at home.  Also, when we get to the research & project portions of our Social Studies units, your child might choose to continue working on his/her project at home.
