Homework Tonight 4/13

Students are coming home with a lot of great activities to work on tonight!

1. They need to complete 15 minutes on IXL Math. Remember that 15 minutes is the minimum, but they are welcomed to go above and beyond! Students need to first work on problem: 4.3.2.3. Why? It will help them study for their test coming on Monday! Also, I will be counting their SmartScore as a quiz grade in our gradebook.

2. Many students have already finishing the comprehension check for our story this week: A Peddler's Dream. However, if it is not yet done, it is homework tonight. Don't forget to use page numbers to show me where you found your information--PROVE your answer is right!

3. Finally, students have a quick spelling worksheet. It should not take students more than 5-10 minutes and it will help students stay fresh for their test on Friday.


Have a great night and see you tomorrow!

Big Day tomorrow!

Dear parents,

Tomorrow we will be starting IXL math. I had the opportunity to introduce this program to many of you over conferences. Students will be taking home their user names and passwords tomorrow, so they can continue their math practice at home.

The games and activities on this program will help your student work towards mastering all of the 4th grade math skills we cover. I am thrilled to utilize this program in our classroom! If you have any questions regarding IXL, please do not hesitate to contact me by phone (952-707-3361) or email (kmulvahill@burnsville.k12.mn.us).

Thanks!
