 * = § __ Language __ – On Tuesday and Thursday nights your child’s language homework will be written in their Language Journal and will consist of a writing assignment. Topics will vary but each response should be a minimum of two well-constructed paragraphs. =
 * = § __ Reading Log __ - Studies have shown that a mere twenty minutes spent reading each night can improve students’ test scores. Therefore, all fifth graders will read for at least twenty minutes outside of the school day. Your child should complete the Reading Log to indicate that the number of minutes read outside of school each week. A minimum of eight entries every ten days is required. Extra credit will be given for reading over 20 minutes per day. =
