Today we began our unit on narratives. We didn't get as far as expected, but we began a shared reading that will continue on to Tuesday of Anything For The Bike. Students should have this hand out in their language folders.
Today the students had their first music/drama class with Ms. Amenta. Despite a hot muggy classroom the students seemed to do very well with the introduction to body percussion.
Our routines slowly are being applied, one at a time. This week we can expect the homework routine to be clearly defined at some point. Students should be reading nightly, and reviewing their planners whether or not they have any other work listed.
Homework will NOT be assigned on weekends unless students are behind in their class work this year.
Homework is not meant to be new material, and is to give support to what we learn in class. It should never take more than 40-50 minutes. If it does, please write a note in the homework journal or feel free to call the school and discuss it with me. Our homework policy is tied to the large TDSB policy on the subject.
