November 5, 2009
Homework - please cover the following books that were delivered today:
Phonics Book
Grammar Book
Math Workbook
Handwriting Book (if not already covered)
Thank you in advance for doing this, these are consumable books with very thin covers, covering them protects them and keeps them from tearing.
Many of the children expressed an interest in completing pages in these books. You may, at your disgression, have them complete any of the pages from the beginning of the book up to page 20, except for handwriting. I need to monitor that and "catch" any mistakes in letter formation. All of these pages DO NOT NEED to be completed over the long weekend. Please complete what you are comfortable doing.
Thanks and have a nice weekend.
