Dear Parents,
Most students have successfully logged on to www.ixl.com and I have been viewing their progress in class as well as for homework. There are a few students especially in SECOND GRADE who have done NO HOMEWORK at all. Please see me if your child is having a problem logging on since it is important that all students practice these assigned skills.
There will be no new vocabulary words this week so students can review for the Unit 4 Tests. The Unit 4 Test in ELA is scheduled for Mon., March 16 and Religion is on March 17th. A study guide will be provided on Thursday. Please see below for this week's homework:
