Homework and Communication Updates for Our Students

Dear Parents and Guardians, My name is Mr. van der Westhuizen. It's very long, I know. Don't worry, you can call me teacher Steph. I am the English teacher for G3 i1.  I hope this message finds you w ell. I wanted to provide you with some important information regarding homework assignments and communication.

  Hi Parents, Oh no! We had to work on a Saturday! 😉 Today, I've returned yesterday's unit test. It was a difficult unit test, but the class's average has improved. The average for the first test was 60%. Their average for yesterday's test is 70%.  I asked the students to prepare for the listening, oral, and written exam. For the oral exam the students must practice reading p. 61 in the Reading Street Reader. (The thick story book.) On exam day they will read to me one by one, and I will ask them questions about p.61. I will return all the tests they've written on Monday. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask. Warm regards,  Mr. van der Westhuizen
