Language Arts - Complete workbook pages 58 and 59.

                          The kids are going to love it!
Social Studies - Presidential Quiz tomorrow
                          - Study the Presidential Packet and the Election Vocabulary
Tomorrow is our Presidential Vote! We talked at length about the Electoral Map and how a president is elected.

Electoral Map Game

I am interested in parental and guardian feedback. This year, I have greatly reduced homework assignments in Language Arts and SS. This is due to a trend in education which suggests less homework reduces student stress and places more emphasis on home and family time.
As a parent/guardian, do you believe this has been beneficial? Do you believe more homework should be assigned for review purposes?
I will give your child a ticket for my classroom drawing if you take the time to email me your opinion.
Thanks,
Mr. Walsh

I think an activity or worksheet before a test/quiz would be helpful for review purposes.
