Homework:

• Students are to complete 30 minutes of reading each night and record it on their homework log.  There is one math assignment, Monday through Thursday.  Additional Homework will be noted in their homework planner, which should travel with them to and from school each day.  A Homework Alert will be sent home if work is missing or incomplete for  a parent’s signature.  These homework assignments are a reinforcement of skills we are practicing in class.

Switching Classes:

• This year your student will be traveling to different classes for science and social studies.  I will be their primary teacher, teaching reading, writing, and math.  Ms. Broidis will be the social studies teacher, and Ms. Wallmark will be the science teacher.  We are excited about this new adventure and we know it will offer your student more learning experiences.
