possible, arrangements should be made ahead of time to complete work at school
outside regular instruction time (recess or after school) with teacher
assistance or at home.
• Students are responsible for catching up on work and assignments missed when absent by first checking the class blog and asking a friend. Students may then ask for clarification with Mme Sweeney if needed.
*Homework can also be e-mailed Mme Sweeney at stefanie.sweeney@rbe.sk.ca.
Free Time
1. If students finish an assignment, they should first work on any unfinished assignments that are due; when they finish those, they may choose to do a classroom job, read a book, write a story, write a letter, write a list, illustrate a picture, make up math problems, practice math flashcards, practice spelling words, work on a research project, peer-tutor someone who needs their help, or clean their desk or organize their binders. Disturbing others who are still working is not an option!
