Homework is an essential part of reinforcing the information from class and teaching responsibility. Responsibility is one of our Character pillars. Only 12 out of the 30 students turned in their completed homework on time. They received a character ticket, a penny for Skittles and a special pencil for being responsible. I hope next week 100% of the class turns in their homework, completed (including reading log, coloring, etc.) and on time. Last week the students studied the letter Pp. The students made Penguins.
