Reminders:
1. All school supplies should be in today.
2. All parent signature forms should have been handed in on Friday.
3. As stated on last week's blog, these are a few reminders concerning homework and classwork:
A. All work must be completed in blue or black ink (other colors will not
be accepted).
B. If the assignment states that looseleaf is to be used, no other types of
paper will be accepted (paper ripped out of notebooks or legal pads is
unacceptable.
C. Homework must be handed in on the day due, unless I receive a note
from a parent explaining why you did not complete your HW.
This will only be accepted if there is an emergency at home (not
because you were too tired or that you had too much other HW).
D. Homework and classwork must be neat. Work that is sloppy or illegible
will not be accepted.
E. Books were distributed Friday for the children to read.
He/she should take notes while reading the book (write them on
loose-leaf or index cards). A test will be given every week on the
chapters assigned to be read for that week. Your child will be allowed to use both notes and the book for the test. The book must be returned on the day of the test. A new book will not be given to your child until the previous one is returned. If the book gets lost or damaged, your child must replace it!
F. Remember to cover the Reading Workbook.
Remember that homework and classwork count as a grade!
