7 items on the homework board might seem like a lot on the second day.  However, when you look at it,  two of the items are organizational and for the rest, I think the due dates are quite fair.  In addition, the students receive school time to do almost all of the assignments (Spelling being an exception; hopefully your child can explain the spelling program).

1) $8 for planners asap

2) Grade seven sheet (picture, not word search) due Tuesday

3) Please try to get the following items by next Tuesday:
sketchbook (nothing hugely expensive by any means; Michaels has some cheap ones)
dictionary and thesaurus (somehow these were left off the Grade 7 list; again, nothing expensive by any means)
French/English dictionary (this one is optional if you don't want to buy one)

4) First Spelling Pre-List is due Tuesday (usually due on Mondays) This is our spelling program for the year.   The children have been given a crash course on how the program works, but if you have any questions, please feel free to ask.

5) A Little About Me sheet due Monday (begin presenting 8 items from the sheets Monday - a small oral presentation)

6) Canada Map due Monday

7) Canada Map quiz on Friday Sept. 14
