We are upping homework expectations slightly because the class has shown that they are ready for an appropriate increase in homework.
For reading, students will challenge themselves to read for 100 minutes (instead of the usual 80). I understand that life gets busy, so students may divide the 100 minutes in a way that makes sense to them (You can read all 100 minutes on Monday if you really want to!). Ellen Shedd shared a new reading log with me that I think will allow students to see reading in a new way. As always, homework is due on Friday.
For math, the 6th graders have been fraction/decimal division experts. On this week's homework, there is a mix of word problems and computation tasks. As we discussed last week, students are welcome to check in with me if they want some math challenge problems.
Thanks!
