Welcome to another week of first quarter!

Please make sure that you have purchased a planner for your child!  We use them almost every day and it also acts as your child's hall pass!

Remind your child that if they do not get their homework done, they will have to go to homework hall on Friday instead of having choice time.  You can check what homework assignments they have during the week in their planners, as we fill them out Monday-Thursday.  Math homework sometimes changes, so keep an eye on that!

You can use engrade to check your child's grades throughout the week.  I try to update every day, but I will always have everything completely graded by Friday afternoons.  Your child was given a log in paper last week.

As of today, every child is expected to have a copy of Maniac Magee.  If they do not have a copy by next Monday, (08/19), it will affect your child's grade.  Please come talk to me if there is a problem!

In math, we will finish up our unit on place value and take a test!  In reading, we will begin Maniac Magee.  In writing, students will work on the simple subject and predicate, as well as become introduced to a persuasive essay.  In science, we will read through a Scholastic news magazine and answer some comprehension and analysis questions.
