Important Reminders: Please complete and return all paperwork!! Back to School Night is this Thursday, August 24th. Our BBQ starts is from 5-6pm and classrooms are open from 6-7pm. Hope to see you there!
Please read the packet of information I gave to your child so you know what to expect. I do not accept late homework! Please remember these important reminders on homework and tests: Homework is due DAILY. Math and spelling assignments should come back to school the next day. Fluency and summaries are ALL due on Fridays. Summaries are paragraphs that include important things from their story. They must not include opinions, such as I love this book. There is a Chapter 2 Test on Thursday in math! Please go over the chapter with your child. 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. If they study 5 words a night, they should be okay. This week's story is Grandfather's Journey. Spelling words are listed in the Theme 1 link under Spelling Lists. Here are the vocabulary words:
