[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]my son is at 4th grade at pine crest. we are all very happy, both teachers are excellent. on the whole homework varies week to week. he comes home with a packet every week with graded work. Here is what he did this week: he had to read an entire novel and come prepared to discuss the book with his book club - each day he had different roles in the group. he also had to research and prepare a first draft of a business plan for a town he researched before the holidays. in order to complete this draft he needs to write the proposal, get a peer-editor and rewrite, only then can he type up his formal draft to submit on wednesday. he had daily math homework. his teacher gives her students ample time in school to complete work. my son is determined to minimize homework so he works his butt off in school. compared to his home school there is a lot more day-to-day work in class. they really do juggle a lot in class. [/quote] Glad to read this. My son is also at Pine Crest but never tells me anything so I wasn't aware of the book club. I'll have to prod him about it tonight.[/quote]
