Things to Remember:

• Bring your white folder (or any other type of thick folder) and planner to school EVERY DAY!  We take them to and from home every day so that we have a place to put our homework and other pages we have worked on that day.

• Read 20 minutes or more every night with your family.  Bring the "Paws" for Reading page back to school every Friday.  **This is the last week for reading minutes!  WAHOO!

• Complete your math homework every night, M-Th, and return the next day.  We will try to record in the planner on nights when no math homework was assigned that day so that you know.

Secret Question of the Week:

What day will we be performing our play for our families?
