Please note that some students may have completed the
above homework assignments in class, therefore they may not have any homework
written in their planner. I appreciate
parents checking and signing planners on a daily basis. If you ever feel that your child is doing too
little or too much homework, please let me know. At the Grade 5 level, we think that 45
minutes a night is a recommended guideline.
Thank you,
Mr.Wu
