Homework 11/10-11/17

1. Spelling Check-in Friday: along, might, close, something, seemed, next, hard, open, example, beginning.

2. Multiplication check-in Monday: just the 4's times table. Flash cards are being sent home.

3. Write a nonfiction piece about one of the following questions. We have discussed that a nonfiction piece is about 2 pages long and has an introduction that catches your reader's attention and introduces your point, a body paragraph with a topic sentence and reasons or personal stories that clearly support your point, and a closing paragraph that wraps up the main points and reminds the reader why the subject is important.  Please review this piece with your child before they turn it in on Monday. Also, let them take the lead on planning and writing this piece. This is due Monday.

Questions (choose 1):

"What is something you feel passionate about and why does it matter to you?" --This could be music, sports, pollution, friendship, honesty, freedom, exercise, eating healthy, playing outside, etc. The key here is on going deeper into why it matters to them and why others should care about it as well.

"Why should kids be wise with their money and how would you teach them to be wise with their money?"
   
"What should kids do to make sure they get into the college or career of their dreams?"
