Homework Slips :   Homework slips need to be signed and put inside the take home folder.   PLEASE ONLY SIGN HOMEWORK SLIPS WHEN YOUR CHILD DOES HIS/HER HOMEWORK.  Homework slips are checked every morning. 

 

  Math Facts :   The children will practice addition/subtraction math facts (example 2+3= ?) at least twice a week for math homework.   The children can use manipulatives (cubes, counters, dots on dice or dominoes, etc.), pencil and paper (draw pictures to help figure out a problem), computer programs, flashcards, board games, or any other creative way you can think of.   There is nothing to turn in the next day, but make sure to write down the number of minutes on the math fact calendar.

 

 

Book Orders:  Next book orders are due Thursday, October 2nd!  You can now send one check to school OR even order online!  Hopefully this simplifies the ordering process!  If you wish to purchase a book as a gift, please let me know and I will contact you when the order comes in.
