3rd week of school !!!!!!

Welcome to the 3rd week of school! 

Everyone seems to be settling in to school now, even me!  I can tell they are getting relaxed because they are talking more!  Red cards will be given this week if they are talking after a warning has been given.  The work load has been light, but that will start to pick up.  Remind your child that when they pay attention and not talk they won't see a lot of homework because there is a lot of time given to complete work.  This week we will go to the library and  choose a book to read.  This book will need to be completed in 3 weeks along with some kind of project.  Each night along with practicing math facts, they will need to read for 15 min. Please sign the planner for the day, for math facts practice, and for reading independently for 15 min.  That means sign the planner (or initial it) for three things.  I hope that helps clarify things. 

Homework Help: 
Monday and Wednesday 2:45 to 3:30 no later
Please pick up your child by 3:30.  Students who are not picked up by this time will be checked into Extended Care and charged for the time they are there.  Thanks for your understanding!
