Today marks the first day of Homework Journals going home. The kids were (mostly) excited about having homework. You can see the journal entry they did this past week. We have talked about the expectation of work quality, and gone over the rubric I will use to grade them each week.
I talked to the kids about doing ONE SECTION EACH NIGHT! It should take about 15-20 minutes each night to do a section. It should take this long if your child is really doing taking their time and doing their best work. Each section should be well thought out in terms of content and have a design element (border, picture, symbol).
Here is the fist homework sheet!
