AS FOR HOMEWORK: I have looked closely to the amount and type of work that has been assigned. All work we do in class starts as guided and then they are required to finish the assignments independently. This will help them to be more independent. Please have your child work on their own, unless they have questions. You may check their work after, but do this with them so they can see what they miss and can correct it with help. This will reinforce the concepts being taught. As always reading and math facts are very beneficial, however, if your child has more than enough homework for the night, don't worry about this. I WILL NOT REQUIRE THIS AS NIGHTLY HOMEWORK OR NEED FOR YOU TO SIGN THE PLANNER- FOR THESE ACTIVITIES. As a parent and a teacher these are important-------when you have time. It is always encouraged!
******BOOK PROJECTS are assigned every few weeks and will require them to read. I do give them time in class, but some may need to be done at home. Please keep this in mind. The next project will be on a biography book. We will check out a new book this Monday. It will be due Monday 11-1-10. That gives them a few weeks to complete.
*******ST. VINCENT LUNCHES- OUR TURN IS THIS FRIDAY, BUT I ENCOURAGE THEM TO, IF THEY CAN, TO BRING ONE EACH WEEK. THIS IS ONE WAY TO PUT THEIR FAITH INTO PRACTICE-------ACTIVE FAITH-FILLED PEOPLE!!!!!
*********HOMEWORK HELP will be this Monday and Wednesday. When my students finish their work from the day I might cancel it. I have them call around lunch. If this will be a problem, please let me know.
********Mission trip- PLEASE TURN IN YOUR PERMISSION SLIP ASAP. AND IF YOU STILL NEED TO TURN IN VIA BUS MONEY PLEASE DO SO. iF THIS IS GOING TO BE A FINANCIAL HARDSHIP PLEASE LET ME KNOW.....ALL STUDENTS WILL GO REGARDLESS!
*******COMMUNION SERVICE AT HAMPSHIRE AND EMERITUS WILL BE THIS FRIDAY 10-15-10. Thanks to the parents who will be driving and helping with this. Your help is ALWAYS APPRECIATED!
