Dear parents,

Since your children did not complete their G3 Enhanced Reading Wonders.Assessment.Weekly Assessment.G3U3W5.pdf for homework, I needed to use this Lesson teaching time to administer this Weekly Test.

Unfortunately, this missed teaching time impacts your child's overall learning of curriculum for this Unit.

Also, due to the limited time of our class (1 hour), their test results are not at their highest level.

By doing these tests at home, they would have the necessary time to achieve their highest potential result and they would not feel so rushed. Thank you.

I will be sending you your child's test result by Message, shortly. 

For Homework - please complete all or some of the following assignments: 

1) Your child has the option to REDO the above test, independently, and then submit to me for marking.

2) Unit 4, Lesson 1, Task 2 -                                    (Your Turn Practice):

- Complete Only p.151, 157-158 then Submit.

3) Unit 4, Lesson 1, Task 1 - (Literature Book):

- Read Only p.278-288, Record, then Submit.

Thank you all for your understanding and support. 

Have a safe and happy Halloween!

Best regards,

Mr. Grande.
