REMINDERS:
1. Please remember to cover all soft-covered books. Some children still have none of their Reading or Language Arts books covered.
2. Remember to read the purple assignment book and check the HW folder each night to know your child's homework for each day.
3. Your child needs to remember to bring all of their school supplies every day.
4. I would appreciate if each child would bring a box of tissues if they have not already done so.
5. Please check the school blog every day for HW updates and information. It is impossible for the children to copy down everything so please make it a priority to check the blog. Please remember to click under Mrs. Larios, the week and 2nd Grade.
6. Remember that HW counts as a grade and many children are not completing it. Check your child’s Reading and Language Arts NB every day to see if I have written you a note.
7. Please sign the tests that will be handed out by Mr. Woods on Friday. Review them with your child and return them by tomorrow if you did not return them today.
8. Please make sure that your child has at least 3 sharpened #2 pencils for this week and next to use for ITBS testing. Also make sure that the pencils have a clean eraser. The children should try to be in class everyday during testing unless that are very sick.
