Daily 5We will use the Daily 5 during our
90 - minute literacy block.
The Daily 5 is a framework for structuring literacy time so students develop lifelong habits of reading, writing, and working independently.
Daily 5How does it work?
Students select from five authentic reading and writing choices, working independently toward personalized goals, while the teacher meets individual needs through whole-group and small-group instruction, as well as one-on-one conferring.
These choices include: Read to Self Work on Writing Read to Someone Listen to Reading Word Work
Scholastic Students will have the opportunity of having their own individual subscription to scholastic news. I order one for each child. They will receive 20 or more copies this year.
Families will also get access to the scholastic news website and iPad app featuring entertaining videos and test prep materials.
I will send home a form about this tomorrow.

Eureka mathMath Program adopted school wide. Offers parent tips for each module. Online Companion site is www.zearn.org
HOMEWORK Students are expected to write HW in their agendas
every morning. In addition, I post all HW assignments on my
website. Whenever possible, I also include pdf files available for download in case your child forgets anything at school.
My website: http://mrskulafourthgrade.weebly.com/ Students will have reading, spelling and math HW
Monday – Thursday.
Spelling HWand words… Students will be placed in a spelling group based upon their
spelling inventory results. Each spelling group will receive a list of spelling words on
Monday. (lists can be found at website) Students will choose one activity from each letter column on
their “STAR” spelling chart for their spelling homework each night. (STAR chart can be found at website)
S-Mondays, T-Tuesdays, A-Wednesdays, R- Thursdays (25 pts. each)
Students should label work with the correct column and the date completed. Spelling notebooks are due Friday mornings.
Math HW While math homework will vary from day to day, it will often
either come from the Eureka Math Student Workbook or be related to it.
If you go to my web site and click on the “Eureka Math for Parents” tab you will find all types of resources including videos, Math Tips for Parents , and a Eureka Math Homework Help Guide, all designed to assist your child with skills we are learning in class.
Reading HW Currently students are expected to read for
twenty minutes, then fill out their reading log and get it signed.
It is important that students try to use the same book each time only changing to another as they finish.
KIDBIZ may be introduced as reading HW in the future.
