Weekly Reminders:
These are a few reminders concerning homework and classwork:
Grades 5-8
A. All classwork/homework must be completed in blue or black ink (other colors will not be accepted).
B. If an 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.
Thanks, parents and students for the Christmas cards and gifts. I sincerely appreciate your thoughts!
Grade 4
E. Gym uniforms must be worn by 4th graders on Tuesdays and Fridays for gym unless students are told differently.
F. January Calendars will be distributed on Wednesday.
G. Progress Reports will be handed out on Friday, 1/5. Please sign and return on Monday, 1/8.
Thanks, parents and students for the Christmas cards and gifts. I sincerely appreciate your thoughts!
ELA/Reading Homework for Grade 6
For Unit 2, the 6th grade is reading The Jungle Book by Rudyard Kipling. Please read up to page 109 by Wednesday,1/5. Highlighting important facts, characters, and vocabulary.
Front Row: There were two assignments due- 1.) due on December 21, and 2.) due on January 3. Many of you still have not completed these articles, and remember they count as a grade. Also, many of you are doing these articles too quickly, and are doing very poorly. Remember I get a report each week telling me the activities that you worked on, how long you worked on each article, and your scores. THIS IS VERY GOOD PRACTICE FOR MAP TESTING!!!!
