Welcome back everyone! Monday, September 9th is our first day of school at GPME. The 5th and 6th graders will have a relatively light homework week, there will be spelling, two compositions and an autobiography project. I'm planning on spending this week assessing and getting a good grasp on where everyone is and how much homework is realistic for each student. 

Also, I do have high expectations for this autobiography project! The assignment will go home on Monday and it is due Friday. It should be a really fun and creative project! 

It is important to be aware of a policy change with my class. I am now asking parents to sign the front of each week's homework packet. This will help me encourage the students to be accountable for their own work and it will hopefully help you be on the same page with your student so you know what is going on in school. I will do my best to keep this blog updated with important dates and soon, I want the students to take over the blog posts so you can have a student's perspective on what is going on in class!
