We are beginning our fourth week of homework. Some of it has gone well, yet some still needs fixing. Please be aware that the DWL(Daily Written Language) packet needs to be done one page per week. Some students were mistakenly doing one page each day!! Also, it is extremely important that your child edit the sentences correctly using the guide on page one of the packet. They must cross out the error, write the correction above it, and then re-write the corrected sentence beneath.
Please note that I grade their homework as explained in the initial letter you received in August. Students receive a star for perfect work, a smilie face for good work, a straight face for average work, and a frown for unacceptable work. As a parent, please go through their work with them and provide guidance and assistance. We want all students to be earning stars and smilie faces. If we have high expectations, we will get high results!
Thanks! And please, don't hesitate to let me know if you have any questions or concerns. Download Sept08.pub
