Homework Expectations: A slight change

This is the note going home tomorrow (Friday, Oct 29)...

Dear parents and guardians,

Up to now, I've been checking homework notebooks daily, and I've seen some very consistent results from most of the class. However, I'm changing the routine slightly. I will still be giving a "fridge list" of words each Monday, printed in the agenda. From the list, 5 sentences are to be printed in the homework book, and the fridge list word from the sentence should be printed 3 times extra, after the sentence, for practice.

NEW: Homework books will be due at the end of each week (refer to our class calendar). Books will be collected for checking, and returned at the beginning of the next week.

Since homework books are collected at the end of the week, this gives more flexibility at your end. Your child can print one or two sentences a night, or as an extra incentive, if they complete them all before hand-in day, I will accept them early.

I think this is fair and will be helpful at your end and at this end as well : )

Thank you!

Mr. Brown
