Weekly Assignments

Our primary focus this week is to warmly introduce students to Perry Hill along with teaching them the 5th grade behavioral and academic expectations.  By the end of the week students will be much more comfortable with getting around the school, using their lockers, and knowing what supplies they will need each day.

In terms of math, we will formally begin the curriculum on Friday with Module 1 - Lesson 1 (see materials below).  Additionally, students will begin to complete their IXL Diagnostic. 

Welcome to 5th Grade - this will be your best year yet! 

  Remember to sign in BEFORE practicing.

​​​

• ​Make sure that your IXL Diagnostic is complete by next week. 
• Our first priority with IXL is to get a starting point. This is called your Diagnostic level -  a 3-digit number based on six different areas of math. 
• It is important that you complete the diagnostic by yourself so that we get a true understanding of your math level. 
• Each week posted right here in this box will be specific IXL skills that I want you to work on for the week. It is VERY important that you track your IXL Weekly skills on the tracker worksheet. 

Monday - No School (last day of summer)

Tuesday - FIRST DAY of SCHOOL!!!!

Wednesday - routines, procedures & expectations

Thursday - routines, procedures & expectations

Friday - Module 1 - Lesson 1

Remember - Our homework comes from our Apply Book!  

The Apply Book should stay home. The Learn book is what you will need to bring to math class every day.  

Math homework will be due by the end of next week.

Students are required to complete at least ONE homework assignment per week and hand it in.
