Homework

To the families in Wendy McGuiggan's Homeroom, 

We have had a great transition back to school, and are starting the routine of having nightly homework.  Each night, your child should read for at least 20 minutes and write a reflection of his/her reading.  This will be part of his/her reading grade.  A reading log went home with your child today that explains the expectations.  The reading can be independent or with a parent.  A completed reading log will be due every Friday.

If you haven't already been checking it, please support your child by checking his/her planner every night.  Every school day should have something written down (even if it's "NO HOMEWORK!").  If your child is leaving the planner blank, then he/she needs some support to increase responsibility in that area.  Also, you can check the weekly homework by going to the mpsvt.org/msms and clicking on "Core Teams" then "5th Grade" and "Homework."  Here's a direct link:  https://sites.google.com/a/mpsvt.org/5th-grade/

Your child already knows how to access this page.  Also on the page you'll notice some geography links.  Ask your child about his/her country project and find out whether he/she needs support at home to finish the project on time.  We will work on it in class through Friday, and projects are due Monday morning, allowing any unfinished projects to be completed at home.

Please feel free to reach out to me at wendym@mpsvt.org.  

Take care, 

Wendy McGuiggan
