Week of February 17, 2014


Reminders:
1. 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 not 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.

2. There will be a full day of school on Friday, 2/21. Dismissal will be at 3:00. There will be PBL after lunch, so bring your iPads or laptops (if you have one).

 ****3. I want to thank all of the fifth grade students and their parents for the surprise party for my birthday. It was so thoughtful of you all and I truly appreciate all of your work and planning. Again thank you so much!!!!
        
Remember that homework and classwork count as a grade!
