Good afternoon. The only homework for tomorrow is the spelling test: students are to study the 50 words since September. As well, students who have tests to make up will do that tomorrow as well.
Ten reading journals of 20 minutes each are due next Friday. That is, if the students read about 20 minutes a night and write about it, this is not a difficult assignment at all.I will be doing these from time to time throughout the year.
I assigned a timeline for students to work on over the weekend. They are to list major life events and events that affected them since their births. I'm not asking for anything personal or secretive, but only things they are willing to share. This mini-project is meant to help connect them to national and world history, which we will research next week. They may need help remembering major events throughout their lives.
