Homework
This year we will be doing a homework menu. Each month they will receive a menu. They will have to complete 2 reading and 2 math assignments for the week. The assignments for the week are due each Friday. For each additional assignment your child completes they will be given an extra dollar to buy something from the classroom store.
Other homework will include studying for Reading, Math, Science, Social Studies, Health or Spelling Tests.
