Hi Parents,

Since today started the 2nd trimester, the class has a fresh start and things need to go a little differently.

We have had way too many missing assignments and papers without names. Homework and classwork is important and necessary for good grades and to enforce lessons learned during the day.

If your student did not bring homework I will be emailing you to let you know. I realize that things may get forgotten or left at home and missing assignments can go unnoticed until it is too late and I want to try to stop that.

I will also only be keeping papers without names for one week then they will be thrown away. Myself and Mrs. Jamero have talked to the class stressing the importance of putting their names on their papers. Please check their work to see they wrote it.

Progress reports and conference forms went out Friday, I need them back ASAP in case something needs to be changed. :)

Thank you so much for your support!

Happy Friday!

I wanted to get an early start on the week to let you know what will be going on the next few days.

We are going to be doing Theme 3, Story 2 for Language Arts and Spelling.

We are starting chapter 11 in math, which is 2-digit by 2-digit multiplication. The class is still having trouble with these math facts so practice whenever you can!

Our story is called Cendrillon and it is a version of Cinderella. The class is an awesome job on this weeks test and vocabulary so keep up the good work!!
