Homework for Feb. 26 to Mar. 2 for Class 1-2

Dear Parents,
          I have assigned three Science articles on www.student.frontrowed.com  for students to study for this week's quiz on THURSDAY as well as Science notes on Animal Groups in their notebooks.  If students click on assignments (which shows #3), there are two articles on Animal Parts (levels 1.0 and 2.3) and one article on Camouflage (level 1.5). Students are to read carefully and answer the questions for all three articles on-line.
       I have also assigned a new set of five leveled readers on www.pearsonrealize but these won't be available until Friday so that students may read them over the weekend.  Questions will be assigned on these NEXT WEEK. The readers are titled: Grandma's Farm, Bread, We Can Help, A Stand for Tim, and A Penny Saved.
