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. Your child was given the book Where the Wild Things Are. They should read the book and complete the Story Map paper, which can be found in their HW folder. This will be due Friday, October 23. Please remember to do the paragraph on the back of the paper or attach a piece of looseleaf.
