What We Are Learning
As the year progresses, I am keeping an eye out on specific skills that students need to work on. If there are learning gaps that need to be closed, I will send home homework with a student. This homework will be explained to the parent prior to the student bringing it home and will need a parent signature showing that the student and parent went over the paper together. I have explained to students that this is not a form of punishment but a proactive measure to help the student master a skill or concept that is being taught. Thank you parents for all your support.
