Mrs. Tullis-Johnson’sHomework Calendar
April 2015
September 2014
The activities on this calendar are designed to reinforce the skills we are learning in class. Please help your child complete the task each day, and then initial in the corresponding box on this calendar to indicate that it was completed. We ask you to initial because not all of the activities are a written task that could be ‘turned in’. We encourage your child to work out the activities that require writing on a separate sheet of paper and submit the assignments for that week altogether on Friday mornings in his/her daily folder. (All weekly assignments can be turned in on 1 sheet of regular notebook paper or handwriting paper if space permits.) **Challengeactivities are optional. However, we would love to see your child try them!
