Hey Mr. Wilson - this is great! Another parent has passed the link onto me and after having a quick read this morning I feel very 'in the know' :)
ReplyDeleteQuestion - how much class time is devoted to the Language Arts reports vs. how much home time should the kids be expected to spend on them? Just asking because so far I haven't heard anything from Taya about these reports due Friday.... but I also know a lot of your assignments have plenty of classtime to get done...?
Thanks so much for starting this!
Cheers, Jana and Taya
hey just noticed the comment... have not generally circulated this blog while i work out the bugs. The students do have class time to do most work. They, however, sometimes are involved in the writing or the drawing so do not get it all done to their standards. I try not to set too strict time deadlines as I want their best work not just the work. The amount and quality expectations continually rise so that they have to keep improving. I am now pulling it in a bit expecting things assigned during the week to be due Friday. Now that I have the quality established I now want more accountability so they do not get behind. I hope that this answers your comment.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the answer Mr. Wilson! I can appreciate the quality vs. deadline concept, yes. But I do agree now is the time to start also working on meeting deadlines also. Thanks for sending Taya's work home as requested this weekend. We'll be working on getting caught up!
