Your son will then have to write the correct answer there. Names ,class and date must be filled in on the first page of every worksheet. Please remind him to write neatly and draw lines for every sentence for corrections.
Also, the date cannot be written in abbreviation. It has to be written with the number for day and spelling of the month. The year need not be written. ( eg 19 January)
Finally, parents please sign on the cover page of the unit worksheets that you have checked your son's work.

May you and your family be blessed with Joy, Peace, Health  and Prosperity. May your son enjoy school and be responsible for his learning.
