Homework - 4/27/2007

Yes, I really did not assign homework tonight. I hope that all the fifth grade students are studying for the science portion of the STAR test that they will be taking on Monday and Tuesday.

Besides tests, homework assignments, and notes they have kept from their science studies this year, I have provided them with many pages of additional notes to help them prepare for the STAR test. They have six (6) double-sided pages of notes regarding the fourth grade science concepts that may be included on the test. They also have one (1) double-sided page on fifth grade physical sciences and two (2) double-sided pages on fifth grade life sciences. I have not provided the students with additional notes on fifth grade earth sciences, namely weather and the water cycle, and the solar system.

The students were also assigned two (2) double-sided pages of fourth grade test preparation questions as homework and three (3) double-sided pages of fifth grade test preparation homework. Not only were these assigned and corrected, but I reviewed them with the students in class.
