Assignments About Homework: Students will be expected to have at least two assignments every day: 1. Reading for 20 minutes - preferably to a parent or older sibling who can monitor. 2. Math homework - Saxon: usually this will be one page but sometimes it is two. Math Packets: Occasionally students will bring home packets as homework. The amount of pages will vary from time to time. Parents, please check your child's math to see if they did all of the problems correctly and didn't skip any parts. Thank you so much. | Announcements September News Letter Dear parents: Greetings! Welcome back to school! I am having lots of fun teaching your children. They are great kids....a little chatty and wiggly at times but are improving. (What's to be expected after summer, right?) This year students will be learning great stuff. To start off with, we are already hot and heavy into our Saxon Math program. For History we have begun our unit on the Earliest Americans and will quickly move into the vikings, and then the early explorers. In the past, my students have absolutely loved these units! I am sure your children will enjoy them as well. Below is our September "I can" list that has all of the subjects that we will be talking about this month. Please take time to ask your child about some of them throughout September.
