Dear Parents,
Please remember to send in Progress reports signed on Monday. Both test folders that will be received on Monday are due on Wednesday with all quizzes signed. This Friday there will be 12:00 dismissal. Students in third and fourth grades should be prepared to give their speeches this week.
Fourth grade had to research information on an assigned animal and third have to speak on one interesting family event or experience. Second grade will be working on autobiographies this week.
Please be aware that due to rearrangement of scheduling, I was not able to see second or fourth grades last Monday and this Monday I was not able to see the fourth. Work however was assigned and will be collected.
Please check below for Tuesday's homework and for Thursday's homework. SINCE THERE IS NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY, THE RELIGION QUIZ WILL BE GIVEN ON TUESDAY. PLEASE CHECK BACK ON FRIDAY EVENING FOR THE RELIGION QUIZ GUIDELINE.
