Reminders:
1. All school supplies should have been in by Friday of last week.
2. 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. Remember to cover the Reading
Workbook.
3. Tuesday is Gym for the 5th Grade. Remember to wear
Gym uniform.
4. Book Fair this week! Flyer went home on Friday!
Remember that homework and classwork count as a grade!
There will be a
weekly quiz on Friday in Reading and on Monday in Social Studies! It will be
based on what is done in class that week.
