Homework Week 1

We are working on writing introductions in 6 different ways in the classroom. I want students to be able to focus on their creativity and also perform the skill of varying their writing. Therefore, I only gave a small amount of weekly homework:

Spelling--pages 1,2,4, 5
Grammar (1 page)- week 1, Monday-Friday

Students are to put their homework in a business file. I will collect the business file every time homework is due and will put graded homework at the back of the file. I am hoping this will help to keep students organized and parents abreast of what is happening.

Thanks!
