Tonight is the first night of homework. Yes, the students have a math paper to do along with Spelling for some of them. They had some time to work on it in class, but not enough to finish and that be the reason it is homework.
Speaking of homework, I don't give work just to do at home. It is work that doesn't get finished in school. Reasons for your child not finishing could be that they are wasting time, not staying on task, and taking too much time to transition.
Starting Sept. 1st, they will have writing homework every night where they to write given a prompt.
Also, the nightly reading calendars are going home tomorrow so they will need to read 600 minutes/month.

Speaking of transition and appropriate times to talk, please take some time to discuss with your child the importance of having self-control. Some students think they can talk whenever they feel like it and they have lost quite a bit of money because of it. They can do it, they just need to work a little harder at being responsible for themselves and knowing when is & isn't a good time to talk out without permission.

Also, we keep working on the part of staying organized in class. What a big job in order to be successful and ready when the teacher is ready. Of course, I know it is early in the year yet, but practice is needed to make it part of their daily routine.

Please note the spelling list is up along with the assignment notebook. Your child's should match mine. Students in Read 180 do not do the reading, spelling, and language in the classroom so their assignment notebook will not match mine for those 3 subjects.
Have a great night and hopefully enjoy some outdoor time before the next rain storm.
