Oh, acs! I completely misunderstood the question. I assumed that it was a list of items that would be covered for the day, which is more along the lines of what Kriston suggested. I was picturing something along the lines of:
Math assignment, pages 294-303
LA: Aida, compare and contrast
etc....
All of those extra words seem quite pointless. Maybe the teacher should also have them write how they feel about each assignment too. <snicker!>
And she is assigning a grade to this?
This should not be for the parent's benefit. If she wants to communicate with the parents, then she should post it on her web site, instead of making the kids write it down. Our DS's teachers post daily assignment on their web sites. Kids should be focused instead on activities that activity contribute to their learning.
