Dear Parents,
Please make sure that your children bring in ALL their books, as well as their folder, their notebook, and four sharpened pencils every day. Last week several children told me that they left books at home. If you did not get a chance to cover, please have your child bring in the book any way. I have started listing grades on SIS system and you can see them if you have the password.

IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT CHILDREN LEARN THEIR CORRECT ADDRESS!!!
Students should keep this index card with child's home and school address in the front panel of their folder ALWAYS. I will add other important information on this card later on this year.
Parents, I would appreciate if all books are covered by the end of this month. Clear contact that comes in a roll works best. These can be found in Staples and Target. Thank you.
Homework for Sept. 19
Math - Do workbook p. 51. Be sure to follow directions!
ELA- Study all 8 vocabulary definitions in notebook for quiz tomorrow.
Parents, PLEASE try to have your children in school by 7:50. At 7:55 we MUST head to church for morning prayers. Students need at least 5 minutes before that to unpack their bookbag, hang up their sweater,and bookbag.,leave their lunch box on the floor, and bring in their books to the classroom. Too many children are coming in during or after prayers. This week's lesson lesson plan needed to be changed . This morning we had to practice for a lock down. Then your children did the Reading section of the MAP test, followed by the Baseline Test for Reading Gen after lunch.
Homework for Sept. 20
Math - Do workbook pp. 55 and 56. Follow all written directions. Parents, please check back on corrections made on previous homework pages so children don't keep making same types of mistakes.

Parent, please review with your children how to write a correct heading as noted on the last homework I returned. Several students wrote incorrect or incomplete headings and some wrote none at all. Homework done on loose leaf MUST have a complete and correct heading in order to receive a 4 as noted on the homework rubrics sheet.

Parents, I sent home the corrected assessment (on looseleaf) of the ELA vocabulary (5 words) and grades ranged from 0 to 100. Please have students review any vocabulary definitions I list for homework. Most often I give a short assessment days before the quiz to alert students to what they need to review. Next week I will send home corrected Math exit tickets given daily so students can review for the upcoming Math quiz. Please remember that there is NO school this Tuesday, Sept. 25.
