I just wanted to share an observation from the past two weeks.
It appears that a good number of students are not completing their assignments, especially Wordly Wise and LA/Math/History workbooks. I've witnessed a lot of blank/unanswered questions. "I left it at home" and "I left it at school" are the most used reasons; rarely, if ever, is "I didn't have enough time" used by the students.
Doing the following measures should help correct these issues:
__ Use the HW Blog as a check-off list.
__ Make sure ALL work that is to be turned in is taken home.
__ Review all completed work.
__ Make sure all completed work is in one folder and placed in the backpack before bedtime.
Thank you for your cooperation.
