Dear parents,

Since this G3 Wonders Enhanced program is at an advanced level, completing and submitting homework is very important, to keep up with the curriculum expectations.

Unfortunately, none of your children have submitted homework for the past 4 weeks.

To check their acquisition and application of this curriculum knowledge, I administered the Lesson 12 - Oct.7th Weekly Test, during class yesterday. The poor results are a reflection of incomplete homework as well as knowledge loss due to lack of reinforcement and practice of knowledge learned in class.

All your children were challenged by this in-class test.

Having your children independently complete their weekly tests at home, will allow them more time to check their answers before submission. Plus, classes can be used for academic instruction to address Learning Gaps rather then administering these Weekly Tests.

I will message you the test results for each of your children.

I ask you to please encourage and support your children in completing some or all of their homework and then submit it to me. I can then check for their Learning Gaps and address your child's specific Learning Gaps, in-class, as I prepare my lesson plans.

Thank you for your understanding, support, and encouragement for your child's high levels of academic success. 

Now the homework for this week is as follows (please complete some or all this homework before our next class). Thank you.

Lesson 11, Task 1 (Literature Book)

- Read, Record, and Submit

Lesson 11, Task 2 (Your Turn)

- Complete and Submit

Thank you once again. Have a wonderful weekend to you all.

Best regards,

Mr. Grande.
