Hey all! Please remind your students that assignments that have several days to work on them, just might NEED several days to work on them. Putting these off until the night before they are due is not a good idea.

I have enough cans already. You guys are awesome. Thanks!

For geography today, we had a nice long study time because I gave them their studyguide to work on. As your student what he/she got done during that time. (It's fine if they didn't work on geo, but then they best make sure to spend some time on it over the next few days. They will need to check their book for some of the answers.)

Your child should also be working on learning their hymn. If he or she waits until Thursday night or Friday morning, it may be hard to learn all four verses.

Well, week one is in the books. We took our Star Reading test today for Accelerated Reader. We now have our goals for the quarter. I'll share those reports with you sometime in the future. We had our first vocabulary workshop class today, found out about culture, and I got to play with water.

Things were a bit closer to a regular day today. We talked about the world's population today, nouns and verbs and punctuation and capitalization rules, and Haydn.

One thing to watch out for is that we have several assignments that are not due the next day. This means that students need to be organized and plan out their time well so that they don't forget to do something that is not due the next day. Developing time management skills is a must.
