Hello Parents and Students,
Homework and Reminders:
President's Report: We will continue working on our President reports in class this week. Students will be writing an informational paragraph with the information that they learned last week. Your child may have come home with their rough draft to be finished at home. Please assist your child in completing this assignment if it was sent home. All completed rough drafts were due last week.
Valentine's Day: Your child may bring valentines to share with the class on Friday, 2/13. I do ask that you have your child write only their name, not the recipient's name on the item. This will help the passing out process. We have 28 students in our class.
Return signed Weekly Green Folder on Tuesday

Check homework and sign communicator daily
Wear House color on Thursdays
Hawk Spirit Day every Friday (optional)

Your child should begin a book and continue reading it throughout the week. Please make sure they are writing the book title correctly and neatly in their folders.

Communicator: Each day, please read the communicator with your child, check off completed assignments, then sign the communicator.
Thank you,
