Now the REAL Grade 6 Work Begins!

Hi Class,

Well, I think I've pretty easy with you so far regarding homework. Now, some of the heavy "stuff" begins. Tonight you have some English and Math Homework to do. Some important things to remember when sitting down to do homework are:

a) Schedule time for your homework or studying. Then find a quiet, secluded place with not distractions, no music, radio or TV, good overhead lighting, and a firm chair and table or desk.

b) Give yourself 45 - 60 minute block for concentrated homework time.

c) If you come to a question you do not know, ask someone at home to help you. If you can't do this, leave a space (enough room to go back and finish it later) and go onto the next question. You want to maximize your homework time.


So, here are your homework tasks for tonight:

1) Have your parents review your English Workshop Goal Sheet and sign it.

2) Complete all activities for Spelling #1. (It looks like a lot, but remember it's spread out over a number of pages, but Emily did it on Monday night and said it only took her about 15 minutes.)

3) Review page 6 in your M6 - Math Textbook - and read over page 7, but don't let it confuse you. We will go over it again tomorrow in class. Then starting on page 8 - PRACTICE - do questions #1 to #4.

You can do it!!

See you tomorrow!

Mrs. A.
