Yes, we have homework this week.

It is the first FULL week of school - which means it is the first week of HOMEWORK. The students will write their assignments in their assignment books. (It is essential to have a school assignment book). I will also post the homework for each week on this blog. Sometimes things may not go according to plan, and the assignments listed here may be a bit different from what is written in the assignment books. The assignment book record is the most up to date. If you have any questions about a homework assignment, please send me an email or voicemail - or just send a note in with your child. (tpress@torahacademy.org 864-0299 ext.247)

In other news...

We will have weekly science experiments. This will be very fun, very exciting, and we will also learn a few things. I will also send home some experiments for the students to do at home. Rest assured - these will be safe, non-toxic, limited mess, limited stress projects to try. Your child doesn't have to complete these. These extra science experiments are "just for fun" - and for some fun learning, too.
