Homework

Just a quick reminder of the homework expectations for our class.
 * Reading - the children will have either a new book or be expected to read a new story if they have a journal. Occasionally this might not be possible, and the children will be expected to choose a book from their book box, or read at home.
 * Spelling - thanks so much to Gina Andrews who has been coming in on a Wednesday morning and checking the spelling lists. This is adding some regularity to our system.
 * Basic Facts - now that the children are cross-grouped for maths, we are all doing something different for maths. There are lots of games on-line that have basic facts skills, if there is no new list in their books.
 * Inquiry - occassionally I will ask the children to complete something extra at home to do with our topic. This might just be a discussion, or it may be some small task
