Ongoing Homework

Hi Class,

I'm a little bit late with our homework blog tonight as I had to take my son for his first set of Young Driver's of Canada Driver's Tests. Eek!! I hope he keeps calm, cool, and collected.

So, homework tonight is really just a set of ongoing work that will be due in the next few days or early next week, but should not be left till the last minute. If you don't do 45 - 60 minutes of homework per night, it will creep up on you and you will be left with hours of homework. Don't let this happen to you.

What are some of these upcoming items that you should be spending time on? Here they are:

1) Spelling #2 Homework and Test is on Wednesday. Remember, every Wednesday is Spelling Day!

2) Read your Auto/biography SQUIRT books and gather vocabulary words, find out their meanings, put them into your own sentences.

3) Plan your Reading Response Letter to me. Get a head start, so that when you come to class you're ready to go.

4) Gather magazine pictures for your Yearbook Cover. Start cutting them out. Yearbook Covers are due next Monday and there will only be a bit of in-class time to work on them, but Friday is a P. A. Day so you'll have a nice long weekend to have it ready for Monday.

5) Finally, we are having a Patterning Test on Thursday. We will be having a double Math Class tomorrow as we missed math today due to our amazing "Artist in the Classroom" visitor, Mr. Jeremie Giles.

So, as you can see, we've got a lot of ongoing projects. Don't leave things till the night before. Do a bit of some of these each night and then when they are finally due, it won't be overwhelming.

PLAN THE WORK and WORK THE PLAN!!!
See you tomorrow!

Mrs. A.
