November 7 Update

Homework
  • Math- Continue using websites. I also showed the kids how to use Ten Marks Jam Session, which is a great option if your child is looking for a different website. If you preferred written homework, please let me know. I am happy to provide written math homework for your child each week. I'll differentiate it based on what your child needs to practice, but I don't want to print out work if you/your child prefers the internet based practice.
  • Spelling/Vocabulary- de 
  • Reading- We recently used Read Theory in class. Students are welcome to do Read Theory as their nightly reading homework. (It is linked on the Links page of our website.)
