Since this is SEP week and because we get out of school early all week, homework is going to be a little bit different. I am going to assign you this week's homework all on this post, and then you will be responsible to make sure that it is all 100% complete and ready to turn in on Friday. Can you handle that? I know you can!
1. ScootPad- Math and Language. Do ScootPad for 20-30 minutes EACH NIGHT. You can do math or language. I will let you decide what you think you need the most help with and choose.
2. ALEKS. Do ALEKS for 20-30 minutes EACH NIGHT. Do your best!
3. Utah Write- Do Utah Write a minimum of TWO times before Thursday. We have our DWA on Thursday. So, PRACTICE HARD! Choose persuasive essays to practice.
4. Spelling City- We won't have time to practice in class this week. So, make sure your Spelling City assignments are complete by Friday. This week we are on Wonders 5.2.
That's all for this week. Make sure you don't get behind! Keep up the GREAT work!
