A couple of reminders about homework:
- Spelling: goes home on Mondays, sentences are due on Friday and a test is also on Friday.
- Reading Journals: activity assignment is given on Monday, the children have all week to read and respond to the assignment which is due on Friday. The activity usually asks the children to respond to a question related to their reading. The goal is to strengthen their written communication and to deepen comprehension by making them think and analysis what they are reading. All written work is expected to be in complete sentences with proper grammar and punctuation.
