Homework - Week 3

Well done to everyone for coming to grips with our homework last week. We are working through 'teething' problems with dial-up issues and problem with media browsers. Some students are having problems with the 'challenge' part of the homework. Let's keep talking!

This weeks homework involves your self selected reading (and filling in the log) and your spelling lists should be up and running this (12) week. We are still preparing your basic facts ladder and this should begin in week 4.

Homework Challenge - Week 3!
This weeks reading focus starts to explore, 'What good readers do'. We are starting with -'They think about what they are reading!' This can mean that we make pictures in our heads.

This week we are using a 'Learning Object' that the NZ Ministry of Education has developed. It teaches us about how words can mean different things for different people. (Click on the picture) Go through all the activities and answer these questions in your homework books;

1. Choose one poem /story and draw a picture (or series of pictures) that matches. Include 5 labels on your drawing that relates to a word in the text.
eg, draw a snake and label, 'crooked' on the bend in its spine.

On Monday we will compare our pictures!
