Monday: study for spelling.
Tuesday: math 119. Please read this with your child and discuss the language used that tells

go home today.

Thursday conferences: Ben L, Gabe, Abby, Ray, Tommy, Andy, Edward, Josie

Homework folders:
Homework folders are sent home on Monday. Each
day of the week has a recommended lesson. The beauty of homework
folders is that as long as the work is done during the week, it doesn't
really matter what day you do it! For example, if Monday says to
complete a math page, but you have hockey practice, complete the page
on Tuesday instead. Be careful to look for occasional items that are due by a
certain time of the week though.
Another benefit of homework folders is that parents can modify the
assignment by making it more challenging. First I suggest you talk to me, then we can discuss ways
to make homework more beneficial to your child.
Homework folders are due on Friday, but can be returned sooner if all
work is completed.
Friday folders: Friday folders come home every Friday and contain
corrected work and papers from the office. They are to be returned empty on Monday. Please look
over each paper to be sure it's actually your child's paper, whether
corrections need to be made, and to become familiar with our
curriculum.
