Reminders:
1. All school supplies
should have been in by today.
2. All parent signature
forms should be handed in by 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. Remember to cover the
Reading Workbook. If the cover is ripped, please put cardboard or
some type of backing to reinforce it.
4. The Opening School
Mass is on Thursday at 9:00. All parents are welcome to attend.
5. Thursday is Gym for
the 5th Grade.
Remember to wear Gym uniform.
6. Please check the blog
daily for updated HW and notes.
Remember that homework
and classwork count as a grade!
There will be a weekly
quiz every Friday in Reading and on Monday in Social Studies! It will be based
on what is done in class that week.
