Dear Parents,
Welcome to a new school year! Please be sure that your child have ALL THEIR CORRECT SUPPLIES listed on my August SUPPLIES blog no later than Tuesday this week . This is VERY IMPORTANT since I will be color coding composition notebooks, collecting folders, etc. on Monday and by Tuesday I plan to begin giving notes! MOST IMPORTANT: Please be sure each child has THREE plastic folders (as sold in supply room) and TWO 100 page hard cover composition notebooks, a stack of about 500 blank printing sheets (to be kept in school), THREE sharpened pencils with erasers, a pack of a dozen colored pencils, TWO large flat zippered pencil cases, and a looseleaf pad. The rest of the supplies can be brought in during the week. Please send in the forms distributed at the opening meeting including the two emergency cards no later than this Wednesday. Keep the absent note form and make copies so you can use throughout the year. You should also keep the homework rubrics sheet.
Please check BELOW your child's grade for this week's homework
I will be assigning homework on TUESDAYS and THURSDAYS so assignments will be due on Wednesdays and Fridays. Homework will be done on looseleaf with a full heading or in a Religion workbook or Handwriting book. Several homework assignments will involve during research on the internet or in the library. Homework assigned in the ELA Workbook will need to be done on looseleaf since students are NOT allowed to write in this book. This applies to 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. Any homework done on looseleaf must have a full heading as stated on the rubrics sheet you received and as was explained in class.
