Homework: August 22 - 26

We had a few assignments due today. One was to decorate writing journals. The other was to finish-up a community picture we had worked on in class late last week. Half of the kids finished this in the classroom but the others were taking it home this weekend because they had a bit left to complete. This morning about half the kids returned with one or both assignments incomplete. Please help your children keep track of assignments and get them back in on time. If an assignment is missing I'll ask the kids to complete a reflection sheet for you to sign (which will accompany the missing work back to me the following day). This will help you keep track of how your child is doing in terms of getting work in on time. Thanks.

Homework this week

1. Read at least twenty minutes each night. There is a log the kids helped me design last week. The log contains spots to record each of the seven nights of the week. The kids need to complete FIVE of these. Which five days they read and record is up to them. This would be a great opportunity to plan a week around any busy nights they might have. This is due back next Monday.

2. They are bringing home a math game called Add'm Up and Cross'm Out. They need to play this with an adult at home. They have played a number of times over the past few days and are good with the rules. Good Luck! This is due in by next Monday.

3. Later in the week the kids will come home ready to interview someone about ways our community (the Northeast) has changed over time. They'll take some notes and bring these back in to share with the class. They won't be ready to do this until Wednesday or Thursday and it'll be due back in next Monday.
