Dear parents,
Many students failed to complete their work at school left over from last week and this week. Therefore, they will have been sent home with a combination of some of the following work:
- An essay based on a totem pole ceremony, where they are to describe the ceremony and the different animals chosen by them for their totem. They may expand the essay by describing the totems of their family.
- Scholastic News magazine. The students receive a scholastic news magazine at the beginning of the week and have a series of comprehension questions and quiz to complete by the end.
- Native American regions – reading and questions.
- Simile and/or onomatopoeia worksheets.
Our aim at the school is to foster independent learners and for some, this can be quite a change from what they have been used to. The essay and Native American regions were given out last week and we are encouraging them to focus on their work, so that they can complete their work in a timely manner and avoid taking work home.
Please email me if you have any questions.
With thanks – John
