Homework

Dear Parents,

Many of the students have after school programs and get home at a late hour. I'm noticing many students are not completing their homework. The homework load seems to be a lot lately. To avoid incomplete homework, I will give less homework throughout the week to help student finish their work on time. I do not want my students to be overwhelmed with too much homework.

Also, Please continue the signing in each worksheet they bring home. It is greatly appreciated it. Thank you for taking the time to do so. :)

Thank you,

math update

Dear Parents,

The past two days, we have been practicing double digit adding. I will mark their worksheet and send them home to be signed. Please take the time to sign them. Some of the student need the time to continue adding double digit number, I will continue working on them throughout the week. I will send worksheet as homework to continue to help them improve their adding skills.

I have noticed, some of the students are mixing up writing double digit numbers or confusing the numbers such as 7 with a 2 and 6 with a 9 and so on. You will see counting worksheet  to help them practice their numbers. We will work on writing double digit numbers properly and getting the numbers right to help them write the correct answer when it comes to their test and work. :) I will quiz them throughout the week to check the progress. Hope all this helps. :)

Dear parents,

These  are the points I will be focusing on during the writing process throughout this term. I will mark student work based on the three point as mentioned below.

1. Capitalization (1 mark)

I will also circle any misspelled words and put ('sp') on top of the circle words meaning it is a spelling mistake. They will be asked to spell the word correctly.

As well, each student will have a dictionary. They will write the words in their personal dictionary to keep as a references of those misspelled words.
