Today your child is bringing home some notes. First, they have a calendar for next week. This calendar lets you know what we are studying in each subject as well as different activities going on on specific days such as library, technology class, etc. There is a strip at the bottom of the calendar for you to sign, cut, and send back to school. If your child brings this slip in on Monday or Tuesday next week, they will receive a piece of candy. This is just to encourage them to show you what we are doing in class.
Today your child is also bringing home a list of August spelling words. We will take our first spelling list next Thursday, August 24. More information will come home next week about spelling tests. Please help your child to start practicing the words for next week.
Also today, your child is bringing home their first page of math homework. It is due back on Monday. There is a note in their papers about math and reading homework. This page should not take more than 5-10 minutes to complete. Please help your child complete this page, put it back in their "homework bag," and bring it back to school on Monday. Thank you in advance for your help.
Finally, if you have not done so already, please return the green note about the Great Eclipse on Monday. Students who do not return the permission form will not be allowed outside to participate.
We are off to a great start for the 2017-18 school year!! I am really excited about the new year. I hope you all have a great weekend!!
