Dear parents,
We completed Lesson 13, Task 1 in class today.
For homework, to the best of their ability, can your children please complete the following Lesson 13, Task 2, activities:
1) Read Only - p.60-67.
2) Complete - 'Sequence: p.69', 'Greek Roots: p.71', and 'Writers: p.73'.
3) 'My Wonder's Dictionary' - three word entry.
Thank you and have a very good evening.
Mr. Grande.
Dear G5 Parents,
For homework, can you please ensure that your children independently complete the following:
1) Lesson 12 Weekly Test
Please submit this test prior to Monday's class.
Also, please remind your child to write their Question 21 answer, using a significant amount of thought and detail and to utilize the Hamburger Paragraph Writing strategy we learned in class.
Thank you so very much.
p.s.: if you wish your children to complete more homework then I have assigned, please do so and submit. I will review all homework submitted. This past week's tasks are from lessons 8-11.
Important - please remember to only have your children complete extra homework that they have literary knowledge about and which they can successfully and accurately apply to their work.
If they do work that is unfamiliar to them, it will only confuse the concepts they are learning, creating learning gaps and poor knowledge acquisition and therefore negative scaffolding scenarios occur which impact future concept learning. To unlearn poor knowledge acquisition is very difficult to do.
Thank you for your understanding.
Have a wonderful weekend to you all.
Mr. Grande.
Dear G5 Parents,
Please continue to encourage your children to participate in class and to take risks with the curriculum. When they do so, the potential for what level of learning they can achieve, is limitless. Thank you for the wonderful support, you provide your children, in their learning.

For Homework:
1) Please have your children complete and submit, Lesson 11, Task 1.
2) Add a minimum of two unfamiliar Words to their, 'My Wonder's Dictionary'.
Thank you once again.
Mr. Grande.
Dear Parents,
Please find attached charts which your children will need to place in their notebooks. Thank you.

Dear Parents,
Your children worked very hard today. They were focused and engaged throughout most of today's lesson and they were motivated to learn the curriculum in detail. Well done to them all.
Today, we covered the, 'My Wonder's Dictionary', creation and use.
The expectation is for your child to find one word per lesson to write in their Dictionary (4 per week) and to build their Vocabulary Bank of knowledge.
There are four entries they need to make per word:
1) the Word;
2) the Dictionary meaning [dictionary.com - can be used];
3) a Synonym for the word [synonym.com - can be used];
4) Find the Word in the Text - write out the sentence the Word appears in, from the story. Thank you.
Today's Homework is to READ Lesson 9, Task 2, and complete the following questions:
1) p.55 - Cause & Effect - 'Your Turn'.
2) p.57 - Homographs - 'Your Turn'.
3) p.58 - 'Strong Words'.
4) One Word entry into their, 'My Wonder's Dictionary'.
Thank you all once again for your strong dedication to your child's academic success.
Have a wonderful evening to all of you.

Dear Parents,
Your children worked very hard today. They were focused and engaged throughout today's lesson and they were motivated to learn the curriculum in detail. Well done to them all.
Today, we covered the Writing portion of our Weekly Tests and success strategies. FYI - we covered success strategies for the Multiple Choice portion of our Weekly Tests, last Thursday.
Weekly Tests will be done after our last lesson of the week on Thursdays. They are to independently complete the Weekly Tests and then submit them to ANEE for my Evaluation. Parents, please do not assist your children in completing their Weekly tests. If they require assistance with submitting their Weekly Tests, please do so. Thank you very much.
For their Writing portion, your children learned the Hamburger method of Paragraph Writing (see below).
The Expectation is that your child's written work is neat (well-formed letters, etc), with correct use of uppercase/lowercase letters, punctuation, sentence structure, etc. – literary components which we are learning in our lessons and they must be applied to their work. Thank you.
For today’s Homework, they are to READ ONLY - Lesson #5 - Task #1. We will cover Task #1 Questions, in class tomorrow. Thank you once again.

Dear Parents,
It was very nice to meet and teach your child today.
For today's lesson, we covered the following:
1) Online Classroom Rules and Expectations
2) In Class Activities - Task 1 and/or Task 2
3) Assigned Homework Expectations
No Homework was assigned today however starting tomorrow, for our Lesson 2, I will be assigning Homework.
Homework completion is important for my Lesson Planning. It is a Diagnostic Tool to help reveal Learning Gaps your child may have which I can plan for and then address in class.
A) Homework is to be completed to the best of your child's ability.
B) If your child doesn't have time to complete the Homework, please Submit the Homework as is, with that reason of, 'No Time to Complete', noted on the Homework sheet. This will guide my Lesson Planning for your child.
C) If your child is unsure of anything given for Homework, leave it Blank OR help your child with the respective challenging activity and note that you assisted your child, onto the Homework sheet. This will guide my Lesson Planning for your child.
If you have any questions, you can message me through the ANEE website or contact ANEE and they can pass on your message to me.
Thank you very much for choosing ANEE. Your child's academic success is my/our focus.
