ORGANIZATION

Every students’ binder is set up in the same order to promote organization. Every student has an agenda where

he/she is to write down their assignments every day. Every teacher has homework posted in their classroom.

Students are reminded every day while packing up to make sure they have everything they need to complete their homework.

A SPECIAL TIME AND PLACE

Set aside a specific time and designated place for homework to be done.

Being consistent will help your child develop better study habits that will carry him/her through their remaining years in school.

Making homework a priority lets your child know that his/her education is a priority.

MATH

The only way to learn mathematics is to do

mathematics. –Paul Halmos

Page 10: 5 th Grade Faculty Mrs. Arthur (ELA) Mrs. Botticello (Math) Mrs. Hamilton (Sci/SS) Mrs. Knight (ELA) Mrs. Sadler (Sci/SS) Mrs. Webb (Math)

From the U.S. Dept. of Education:

“In particular, math homework has been shown to be more important in the middle to upper school grades. It starts to become important in the fourth grade and is increasingly important in the upper grades.”

TIPS-Use household chores as opportunities for

reinforcing math learning such as cooking (fractions) and repair activities. *We use sports, video games, grocery shopping, etc. in our examples!

 -Try to be aware of how your child is being

taught math, and don’t teach strategies and shortcuts that conflict with the approach the teacher is using. Ask the teacher about online resources that you can use with your child at home. *See below

SCIENCE HELPFUL HINTS

Students need to focus on key vocabulary, taking the time to complete the study guides, and thorough reading comprehension during lessons.

Students may have the most difficulty interpreting graphs & charts with data.

Students should fully utilize their time in class in order to accomplish their assignment goals so they do not have to take it home for homework.

Students will be engaged in completing various types of graphic organizers to reinforce science skills & concepts.
