This week, children have two pieces of homework. Both pieces are due Thursday 04 May.
The first is Creative: I can prove that grammar is important.
We focus on grammar and punctuation a lot in school but I would like children to prove that grammar is important in real life. After all, correct grammar/punctuation can be the difference between eating with your Grandma and eating your Grandma.
- Let’s eat, Grandma.
- Let’s eat Grandma.
The second piece is Talk Time: I can justify my own opinion (Should we spend so much money on exploring space?)
Last year, NASA’s budget was increased by $18.5 billion. This is obviously a substantial amount of money. Through discussions with an adult, I would like children to decide if they think that spending this much is acceptable. We’ll have a debate as part of our homework review next week.
