Phonics Journals Due on Day 6

Phonics journals are important part of daily homework. There is an assignment due each day from the menu inside the phonics journal and students write the daily assignment in their agenda. On Day 6 phonics journals are due. I grade them and them return them to begin the following week with Day 1. If you are signing your child's agenda you are acknowledge that your child's homework is complete each day. Please contact me if you have any questions regarding the use of the phonics journals.
