Speller's Choice Links
"Josh, what do you have for homework today?" Mom asks
"Uhhhhh..." As Josh watches his friends trundle down the sidewalk with hockey sticks in hand, he does what many kids (shouldn't) do. "Nothing?" He finishes.
"Really?" Mom's eyebrows raise in surprise, "let me see your backpack. As she sorts through, she find the agenda log listing Josh's spelling and reading assignments for the night and asks where those are.
"Oh...I left it at school." Josh sheepishly admits. Mom tries to call Josh's teacher, but she is gone for the day. She's frustrated and wishes she had a master copy of the homework so she could be sure her preoccupied son got his work done!
I know some of you have been here before! Spelling seems to be the most frequently forgotten homework task in our classroom. They may remember the Spelling Choices sheet...but they forgot their words...and you can't write your words without a copy of them! I think I have solved this problem. Here are your child's unit lists on googledocs. Email me if you have any problems getting to these! I hope this makes life easier for you all!
Pink: here, here, and here
Green: here, here and here
Yellow: here, here, and here

Reading Log and Speller's Choice Links!
we began our new reading logs in room 206 and I borrowed them from a new friend and fellow fifth grade teacher. If there are questions or confusion at all, please call or email me and we'll talk through it! Just so you are aware, I selected sheets and photocopied them back to back in a 4 week rotation. If your child forgot his/her log, ask them which week they were assigned then use this key to know which pages in the pdf file to use/print:
Week 1: pages 1 and 9
Week 2: pages 7 and 8
Week 3: pages 4 and 6
Week 4: pages 2 and 3
And here is the speller's choice sheet that the kiddos should keep and reuse each week! This is also borrowed from a wonderful colleague and our whole fifth grade team uses this. Here are the guidelines:
your child needs to choose four different choices and complete 1-2 of them each night. Check our homework policy to find out when your child needs to turn in both reading logs and spelling choices.
Week 1: pages 1 and 9
Week 2: pages 7 and 8
Week 3: pages 4 and 6
Week 4: pages 2 and 3
