Homework

How's is going at home?  I'd like to hear how much time the students are spending on homework.  The common core curriculum is quite intense compared to our state standards.  The kids are going to be so much further ahead than in previous years.  I'm seeing great thinking skills in the classroom and hope you are seeing this at home as well.  Although the curriculum is challenging, I hope students are enjoying their involvement with the text they are reading.  Parents, are you seeing this?  Have the students been discussing "Touching Spirit Bear" or "Secrets of the Spirit Bear?"
