After speaking to you, I wanted to fill you in on how I will meet some of the needs addressed:
1) I will send the spelling tests home in students communication books the following Monday. Please look at the test, and send it back by Wednesday.
2) Beginning September, I will send home homework each Monday (to be returned by Wednesday), and Friday (to be returned Monday), as well as the weekly Spelling Test (words will be given Friday and test one week later, the following Friday). After seeing how students are doing at the end of September, I will assess if more homework is needed.
3) I have spoken to Ms. Lin, the Chinese teacher, and have asked her to provide students with Chinese homework, weekly or bi-weekly, as well.
