HOMEWORK:
Your child’s homework folder should come to and from school each day. The reading log should be initialed daily, and handed in on Friday. There will be a spelling test almost every Friday. It is your job to make sure your child is prepared for the test. I will not collect spelling homework. Math will be assigned throughout the year. Please practice addition and subtraction facts to 10. Children should be fluent with these. *Your son/daughter will have homework Monday-Thursday.
NOTES TO PICK UP YOUR CHILD:
Please put a note in the return to school side of the folder if your child is to go home with another student, or another child is going home with him/her. If possible, please list the first and last name of each child, the classroom teacher of the other child(ren) and their plans to get home.
BOOK ORDERS:
We will be sending book orders home throughout the school year. This is an inexpensive way to “boost” your child’s at-home library. Please return forms and CHECKS only in an envelope marked “book order.”
1. PLEASE do not send cash
2. You may combine magazines and send only one check payable to
“Scholastic Book Club.”
