"Homework  is a way to reinforce the concepts that your child is learning each day"

  One of the skills we try to reinforce to students is how important it is to be responsible.  Each student will be assisted with filling out their assignment notebook at the end of each day.  Please check your child's assignment notebook each night to be certain that he or she has all of their homework completed and ready to return to school the following day. Part of their responsibility in the classroom is to be sure they have recorded their homework accurately. Homework will be checked and recorded each morning. Folders have a Bring Back and a Keep Home side to them. This will help you to know what should stay with you and what should come back to school the next day.

Science or Social Studies:   Students began their project for Japan. Each student has been assigned a specific job and you may see them creating or working on this at home! However, most of the project will happen here in school!

Writing:      We began our poetry theater and students were assigned poetry to perform with partners. Students will be bringing home their poems to practice their parts. Please help them prepare for their presentations in speaking clearly, using expression, using facial expressions and stressing words. They are allowed to make props, which we will do mostly in school, and are allowed to dress their part the day of the presentation.
