Important Reminders:  We are in a new trimester!  Chapter 15 Test will be this Wednesday! Please remember these important reminders on homework and tests:  Summaries are paragraphs that include important things from their story.  They must not include opinions, such as I love this book.  Students take a vocabulary quiz once a week.  There are 20 words and they must know their definitions.  I recommend that the students take home their vocabulary notebooks nightly to study for their quiz.  Notebooks must come back to school the next day.  This week is theme testing week.  Progress reports come home on Tuesday.

We have a field trip on Thursday.  Permission slips must be turned in for your child to attend.  Conference forms have gone out.  Please make sure you check and see if the time that is given will work for you and return your response as soon as possible.  We have our first conference day on Friday, March 2nd and it goes through Thursday March 8th.

Your child will be bringing home a permission slip to go on a fieldtrip to the Stockton Symphony next week.  Your child must have their permission slip turned in to attend the fieldtrip.  Also, conference forms are coming home.  Please make sure you look for them and send them back so I know if you can attend or not.
