December 10-14

This week we are reviewing the reading standard of main idea and details.
  • There is no more homework for this 9 weeks. For the rest of the year, I will only be sending home the homework with the students who tell me they plan on doing it. I am losing dozens of copies of homework that these students are taking, not completing, and not returning my copy.
  • There will be a reading test on Thursday, December 13th. It will consist of cold read passages and question sets.
  • Last week's tests go home on Tuesday, December 11th. They will be bringing home a grammar, spelling, and reading test.
  • If your child makes a D (60-69) or an F (59 and below), please sign the test and return it by Thursday the 13th. 
  • Please continue to talk with your child about their school work, tests, homework, conduct, notes from the school/teachers, etc.
  • Let me know if you need me in any way!
