NOTES:
1) Graded papers will be sent home on Friday. Please sign & return the papers on Monday. Also, if your child did not do well on some work, please help them with it over the weekend. Both LEAP & academic success depends on how much both the teacher & the parents work together to help the child.

2) I found a really good flashcard/study program that is free on the Internet. It is quizlet.com. My username is SandraChelena and the password is eagles. Click on My dashboard, and the title of what your child is to study. Your child is familiar with the program and all of the steps should be used when they study. I have posted all of the vocabulary for this week's story and multiplication facts.

3) Please sign behavior sheets each night!
