Word Study Homework Activities
Parents and Students,
You may select any FOUR activities from below to complete on loose leaf paper. We will collect the
HOMEWORK on Fridays and check for homework completion. If we miss school for a holiday, snow, or
etc. FOUR activities will still be required, unless we miss on a Monday. This should allow choice and
flexibility with afterschool schedules.
Thank you,
Fifth Grade Teachers
