Reminders:
These are a few reminders
concerning homework and classwork:
A. 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).
B. All work must be completed in blue or black ink (other colors
will not be accepted).
C. Homework and classwork must be neat. Work that is sloppy or
illegible will not be accepted.
D. 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).
E. Please cover the New York Progress book. A clear plastic
cover is suggested.
F. Gym uniforms must be worn on Thursdays for gym.
G. Please check the blog daily for updated homework assignments
or
notifications.
H. If your child will be taking an individual picture on
Thursday, 10/30, please return the picture envelope and money to Mrs. Resto in
the Tuition Office by Wednesday, 10/29.
I. Halloween on Friday (for 5th Grade only)
The children may wear their costumes to school if they wish. The
class decided on the following in terms of a party:
· Everyone
brings in her/her own drink(s). That way we do not need cups and everyone
drinks what they like.
· Each
child volunteered to bring in something to share with the class. Please ask
your child what he/she chose, and if there is a problem, let me know on Monday.
· The
children asked me to order pizza. Therefore, each child that wants pizza should
bring in $ 4 by Wednesday. Children that do not want pizza can bring their
lunch.
· Please
send in some candy to give to the younger children during their Halloween
parade.
· No PBL
on Friday!
Remember that homework and classwork count as a grade!
