Math Home Links

Homework will begin this Thursday. Students will need to tear out their homework each night from their Home Links workbook and turn it in the next day. It is suggested that students keep their Home Links book in their back packs.

Homework Club

If your student does not turn in their homework on time, they will need to complete it during their recess time at “Homework Club”. Please send me a written notice if there are circumstances that your child could not complete their homework and they can be excused from homework club. Thank you for your cooperation!

Optional Reading Log

Students can read 20 minutes each night and record their efforts on the reading log located on the back sleeve of their folder. After 1 side of the log is complete, they can turn it in for a reward!
