Homework

The night's homework can always be found online. You can click the link to the right that says "Homework," or the one below. I'd recommend book marking it.

If you scroll down, you will find links to all practice books. Through www.everydaymathonline.com you can access all study links. The expectation is still that the students remember to copy down their homework and bring the proper books home. This is for you, the parents & guardians, in an effort to make your life easier.

Over these last few days I have talked a lot with the students about being organized and responsible. Today your child came home with all of their math study links. All of these pages should be in the math section of their binder.

For the spelling homework I am going to try something new this year. I'm going to assign the whole week's worth of homework on Monday. The students can do a page a day, all of it Monday night, or schedule it around after-school activities. Whatever best fits your/their schedule. I did stress to the students not to put it all off to Thursday night.

Also, our specials for this year are:

Monday - Art

Tuesday - Music

Wednesday - Library

Thursday - Computers & Gym

Friday - None

Look forward to meeting everyone on Sept. 17 at our Open House and/or on Friday at our Back to School Picnic which was rescheduled for Sept 20th.

Welcome Back

          I’m looking forward to a great year with your child. We have a lot of exciting events planned for this school year. This year’s theme in my classroom is “What’s Your Standard?”

Every class is full of students with different abilities. Every class is also full of students holding themselves to different standards, something we choose. We are going to start off this year defining what our individual standards are, and making sure we never stray from them. This year we will define our standards for:

-      Organization

-      How we treat others

-      How we challenge ourselves to grow

Your support in developing healthy habits for success is key. The same standards at school should be expected at home a well. Working together we will help to make sure this is a successful year for all. Let’s make sure we are set up for success. I look forward to meeting all of you!
