Homework and Take-home Folders

Good evening everyone,

Just a quick note on homework and take home folders.

  • Take Home Folders need to be returned to school everyday.    
  • Please make sure you correct you children's work when they are completing homework assignments.  Many of the children had mistakes on the last math homework assignment.  These mistakes included writing numbers backwards, writing the teen numbers backwards, and making the wrong number of tallies for the number written.  By correcting your child's works you have the opportunity to talk about the concepts being covered.
  • It is also important to make sure that your child's name is written on the top of all homework papers.
  • Please look through your childs folder each night and talk to them about the papers they have brought home.  Make this an opportunity to talk to your child about what they are doing in school.  This will also help them not turn everything back in the next morning!!!  If your childs paper has a star or stamp on it, it should stay at home.
  • Poem Folders are due back each Monday.
  • Library books are due back to school every Thursday.  If you child does not return the library books they will not be able to check out new books.
  • Please make sure your child wears the appropriate shoes for PE.  

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank you,
Becky
