Reminders: Homework continues this week! Your child will bring home his homework folder on Monday, and it will be due back to school completed by the following Monday. Weekly homework will contain a Reading book (to practice every night), Sight words (also to practice nightly), a phonics activity, and a Math activity. Sometimes additional work may be added to this list. Please make sure Reading books stay IN the homework folder when they are not being read! Books belong to the school, and lost books will result in a fine. I reccommend leaving the homework folder at home, on a kitchen table or another prominent place, so you will remember to work each night. But PLEASE remember to send these back to school the following Monday! (Next week though, it will be due Tuesday, since there is no school Monday)

Rest towels will come home Friday, please wash and return them next week. Poetry journals will also continue to come home on Fridays... Read the poem over the weekend, then return on Monday with the homework folder.
