Students will need to answer a few questions about the reading every day, so they should make sure to keep up with the assigned pages. I gave the reading assignment for the week, so students should keep up with the reading even if there is a snow day. For example, if there is no school on Thursday, they still need to have completed chapter two for the class discussion on Friday.

Students who had a low homework average for the second advisory have been given a homework log and a letter to be signed by their parents or guardians. If you would like to work with me to improve your student's homework average, please have your student submit the signed portion of the letter to me by Friday, February 6th.
