Note about weather: Please remember to send your child to school with whatever outerwear may be appropriate for the weather forecast. We go outside for recess most days, even in the winter. 

Dates listed are when the homework was assigned. Typically, it is due the next day, unless I have given alternate instructions. 

There may be additional homework for students who did not complete their classwork.

Reminder: Math tutoring is available during carline on Mondays and Wednesdays. If your child got 6/10 on the most recent math quiz, I request that they attend at least one of the week's tutoring session. If you would specifically like to request tutoring for your child on a Monday or Wednesday, please email me so that I can make sure they participate.

The Lamb

By William Blake

Little Lamb who made thee 

         Dost thou know who made thee 

Gave thee life & bid thee feed. 

By the stream & o'er the mead;

Gave thee clothing of delight,

Softest clothing wooly bright;

Gave thee such a tender voice,

Making all the vales rejoice! 

         Little Lamb who made thee 

         Dost thou know who made thee 

         Little Lamb I'll tell thee,

         Little Lamb I'll tell thee!

He is called by thy name,

For he calls himself a Lamb: 

He is meek & he is mild, 

He became a little child: 

I a child & thou a lamb, 

We are called by his name.

         Little Lamb God bless thee. 

         Little Lamb God bless thee.
