5th+Homework

Welcome to Mrs. Swan's 5th Grade Homework Page
Maybe you were absent or just absent-minded. Check in here to find out what you missed for homework.


 * PARENTS:** Please check out what assignments Grade 5 has been given. I really appreciate your interest in your child's learning, but PLEASE do not __do__ their assignments for them, especially **science & social studies**. We talk about how they should try to find the answers alone, and, if unsuccessful, then ask if you would please show them the page or general idea where the answer is located. This way, they can learn how the subheadings are used or why they missed it initially.

You may only __correct papers 84 and below__. A and B papers are honor roll material---strive for these __first__. NOTE: Science and Social Studies are tough, so I will allow B papers to be corrected as well.
 * HOMEWORK CORRECTION REMINDER:**
 * The order of assignments is pretty much the order of the day's schedule.
 * Keep in mind that "teachable moments" arise and assignments are subject to change.

JAN 2-6, 2014
**MATH:** We work with Saxon 65.  Bonus folder is due JAN. 13, 2014--ranks close.
