*NOTE* – Students, please remember to split the weekly assignment above into smaller, daily assignments. Then, please remember to complete the following with each assignment – you complete, parents check, you correct, parents again check, then note which questions you need to ask me about the following Monday. It is YOUR responsibility to approach your parents about checking your homework. Don’t wait until the end of the day or the weekend to start the checking/correcting process. Do it EVERY day you complete an assignment. Please email or text me with questions. Thanks!
