We started the day organizing our DDLS binders and students got their first sheet of assignments for this week. If you don't know what this is about, please make sure to reread the gr. 4/5 parent information letter that I emailed a few weeks back... if you also check the class website topic "Gr. 4/5 Div. F03", DDLS is a subtopic that you can check out.
This is really a work in progress. The amount of organization skills and logistics involved can be quite demanding for students.... I would say that a few kids take to this type of organization quite easily and then for some others, it is an ongoing work in progress.... taking it one step at a time! Remember that learning (and being organized) is a life long goal!!! =)
This morning, the students were given their work sheets to put in their binder, they were given time to read the assignment explanation sheet and to highlight important information and dates. They were also given time to begin to plan their homework tasks in their agenda. That is the really challenging bit. At this time, they may very much need parent support through this process. If you can sit down with them tonight and review DDLS, the assigned tasks and help them plan tasks throughout the week in their agenda, that would be great!!! Make sure to email if you or your child have questions to avoid feeling frustrated and upset....
