Next week will mark a change in weekly Homefun. We will begin using Vocabulary Hopscotch Homefun, in order to enhance our Wordly Wise curriculum. Each week, your child will write down their vocabulary words in a Wordly Wise Journal. (This journal has been provided for them and the Vocabulary Hopscotch form is attached to the inside cover). They will be required to complete one Hopscotch activity every night, and turn in the entire journal daily.
The Hopscotch Directions:
1st jump: Write the definition for EACH word. (The students may take their classroom Wordly Wise Folders home with them in order to accomplish this task.)
2nd jump: Choose between writing a sentence or drawing a picture for EACH word.
3rd jump: Write EACH word in alphabetical order.
4th jump: Choose between creating and completing a crossword puzzle for EACH word (and staple into your journal) or writing a story with at least 8 words.

In addition, please make sure that you are going over all of your child's Homefun every night, after he or she has completed it. Any assignment with 5 or more wrong will be sent home as additional Homefun, and students will be expected to make the necessary corrections in order to strengthen their practice. Going over Homefun with your child BEFORE they turn in it, will teach students how to catch their own mistakes, and set them up for future success. As always, thank you for your support!
