Hello, Students!
Please read the previous blog post for the New Year and notice the three
changes:
1. I will no longer micro-grade your
handwriting, but if I can’t read an answer, it will be counted wrong.
2. There will be no such thing as bringing a
paper in late (unless you are sick.) If
you don’t turn in an assignment on time,
you will do it THAT DAY instead of going to
PE/Music or both.
3. We will continue to schedule our day with
Large Group Instruction, followed by your own
Individual Time. Get your work done at
school so that you don’t have homework!
This week’s schedule can be found by clicking on this link. Unfortunately, it is really difficult to transfer a Word document with the charts to a blog post. So, it is available to you on Box.Net. You will also get a hard copy of this at school.
I will summarize your assignments & due dates below--you may also link to these papers from this blog post. Your spelling words for this week, and the definitions you must be able to recognize and match, are below. You will need to practice your spelling words and vocabulary at home.
