Homework: Write spelling words. Tomorrow is our first spelling test! Mass Popcorn 25 cents. There our more graded papers coming home. Please take time to go over them with your child. I often call them up and talk with them, and, most times, we make the corrections. I write notes on them, too! More graded papers also means I will start putting grades in the gradebook! Our classroom behavior policy still seems to be working well. It is simple: Be respectful and responsible. If there is an issue, I immediately discuss it with them and you will be notified. After many years of a behavior chart I am enjoying the freedom and immediate response to this idea. They seem to be doing well with it, too. I have the specials teachers on board with me. They will contact you if there is a problem. Wednesday, August 28, 2019
Homework: Backpack page 3. Do not cut them out. Return tomorrow. **Uniform Code** Students were reminded today all socks must be above the ankles and no logos. Rolling socks down to hide logos is not acceptable. PLease check your child's socks and be sure they are following the dress code. TODAY WAS OUR FIRST TRIP TO THE PUBLIC LIBRARY! This adventure is a privilege. Students are expected to be on their best St. A behavior. If your child chooses to bring their books home, it is their responsibility to return them when they are due. We go to the library weekly and it makes it easier if the books are returned weekly. I do make exceptions if they are reading a chapter book. The library is wonderful about deleting fees for weather, or when we miss school day, or when we are on vacation. I do not let the library be so kind for forgotten materials. We don't want to take advantage of their generosity. Spelling List for Week of August 26

Homework: Write spelling words three times each. I have sent home a paper to do this on. We have gym tomorrow. I am hoping to go to the public library tomorrow afternoon. I am waiting to hear back from them. **A NOTE ABOUT HOMEWORK** Homework is due first thing in the morning. It is a kind gesture for parents to bring in forgotten homework, but, this defeats the responsibility of returning homework. I also feel it is unfair to the child who does not have that option. Homework not in the basket after we start our day will still be counted as late. This will impact the participation grade. If you have an questions about this policy please contact me. |
