Notes on Homework

I try to post the weekly homework schedule in the beginning of each week. This serves to give an idea on what can be expected each night from me (Sr. Sabrina). Of course, things may change and more or less homework can be given before I get a chance to update the schedule. Please see student planners with my signature on that specific date for the most updated daily list of homework.

We are currently in the 2nd marking period, almost coming to a close in a few weeks. Students should expect to get more homework as we progress in the school year to prepare them for state assessments and the end of the year, which will come by rather quickly then we expect!

I understand that the list of homework may seem like a lot, but considering the actual assignments (many of them worksheets on what has been already taught in class), homework should not take too long. If students require extra assistance, please see me as soon as possible for help :)
