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
