It has been brought to my attention that we may need to make a few adjustments to our class in order to ensure each scholar is successful. Please know that I am here to serve your children and it is my strongest desire to help them learn. The feedback I am hearing is that the homework is too time intensive, confusing and that the scholars feel we don't finish enough in class to prepare them for assessments. I want to address these issues, so I am making some changes for the remainder of the year.
1) I am cancelling the Goodreads requirement for the Scholar Choice Book Reports. Going forward, scholars need only to complete the questions on the handouts in manuscript form and turn them in. I am only going to require two more for this year; with the first due on March 8 (a day) and March 9 (b day) and the second due April 19 (a day) and April 20 (b day). Please see the attachments in the resources tab for the Scholar Choice Book Report forms and the Assignment sheet explaining the Scholar Choice Book Report. 2) All homework will be listed on a blog post at the beginning of each week with a detailed explanation. If there's any confusion at all, please contact me directly so that I can support you in helping your scholar complete the work successfully. Occasionally, some classes get more done than others based on the atmosphere of that particular class, so please check your child's agenda to ensure that the assignments don't get pushed back or moved up. Writing in the agenda or emailing are both excellent ways to get a hold of me if you have any comments or concerns. I am always open to feedback, positive or refinements, so please feel free to contact me! Sincerely, Ms. Agazzi
