Family Focus
This year we are taking more of a family focused approach to homework. We believe that spending quality family time is vital in the success of your student. We will provide family friendly, engaging homework activities and assignments. We would love if you would send us pictures of these activities and share them with us.
This weeks Family focus: Read a literary fiction book at home and discuss the setting, characters, theme, and beginning, middle end. Also discuss character motives- why a character acts the way they do.
