Remember - Every family has different circumstances and what works for one will not work for another. I have laid out work daily but it can be done just whenever you get a chance. Please remember you do not have to complete everything, The work is merely a guide. Do what suits your personal circumstances the best. Accelerated Reading, Lexia and RMeasimaths can continue to be used.
Don’t forget to send in some pictures of your work or if you have any questions/queries you can get in touch with me by emailing rreavey141@c2kni.net
