Last Nine-Weeks' Work Load

Via the letter we sent at the beginning of the new semester, we gave you a warning as to the increase of the work load that would be provided for the rest of the year.  This is to help increase your stamina and endurance to prepare you for middle school, high school, and beyond.  How have you changed your HW routine to accommodate (allow time for) the extra assignments?  Have you completed all your spelling assignments on the first night?  Have you taken your 20-minute reading practice assignments more seriously?  Have you found a quiet place to work so you can focus on your studies to complete them in a more efficient manner?  Share your ideas and strategies with others in your class.
