Dear Parents,
We had a great first week! I look forward to working together with you and your child this year.
Supplies – Thank you for sending in the supplies with your child. However, there are still some students who have not brought their supplies. Please bring them in as soon as possible. They are already using their composition notebooks and folders. Thank you!
Breakfast in the Cafeteria– Please make sure your child is seated in the cafeteria table by 7:35 a.m. Students that arrive late need to eat their breakfast quickly or may not be able to eat.
Home Learning – Home Learning (Homework) will begin this week. It
will be sent home on Monday and is due on Friday. Please send yellow or orange homework folder to school each day.
Math–Homework Practice Workbook pages 4-5. Please complete only the assigned page(s) and do not tear out the page(s).
Reading - Please practice the following sight words from Word List 1(for, was, I , the, and, to, it, you, said, his, on, they, had, but, she, that, of, in, he, a). Have your child read the words to you. Practice any of the unknown words. You may want to make flash cards of the unknown words. Once all the words on the list are known, have your child read the words quickly for speed. On Friday I will be checking for mastery of the assigned list.
Reading Log – Please read each night. You may read to or with your child. Your child may also read to you. Please record the book(s) read each night on a blank sheet of paper. One book is required each night for Monday through Thursday. I will check the reading log each week.
