Homework

Parents,

Your children should have come home with a large biography poster and a 1/2 sheet explaining the homework for the next few weeks. Essentially, they are to choose a biography to read and then complete the biography poster after reading. Many students have chosen "Who Was..." books from the classroom. If not, you may need to visit the library to support this project.

The final work on the posters should be thoughtful and careful with colored pencil or crayon to create the art. There should not be any computer copies or photo's inserted, the child's hand is encouraged. Please keep the posters in a dedicated spot so they are not lost, extra copies may be difficult to come by.

Spelling words for this week are compound words, there are no bonus words. The list follows:

afternoon, anyone, backyard, bedroom, butterfly, everybody, everyone, everything, grandfather, grandmother, himself, homework, outside, popcorn

Challenge words:

lamppost, nickname, nowhere, reindeer

As always, if you have any questions, please contact your teacher.

Happy Days!
