PLEASE REMEMBER TO SIGN READING HOMEWORK. The homework will be given at the beginning of the week and is due by Friday. This is a chance for you to interact with your child with reading...listen to fluency, discuss comprehension, see how they do written response, and hear their decoding skills. This counts as part of the nightly reading. I believe that this assignment helps us partner together with their learning. Thanks for your support.

On Wednesday, we will go over the test in class and ask students to make corrections on the test, have it signed, and bring it back the next day. We will begin Unit 5 ADDITION/SUBTRACTION UP TO 1000.
