HEROES Traits
Please make sure your child is dressed for the weather as we will go outside for recess as long as it is 20 degrees "feels like" temperature and/or precipitation-free. They should have a heavy coat, gloves, and a hood or hat, please. If you need something, please ask.
Students may keep a sweatshirt, sweater, or hoodie at school for when they are cool inside the school.
Weekly Homework Packet
No Homework Packet or Spelling the Week of January 6-9
The Homework Packet is sent home each Monday, and it is due by Friday (signed) each week. Each week your child will complete the packet. The packet is made up of a spiral review of Reading, English, and Math skills. Each skill area is separated by day. Students should tun in packet with each day finished by Friday of each week. The students will have a quiz on the topics in the weekly packet. Please sign the reading log. If a child completes his/her homework and returns it, then he/she will earn Superhero Points to spend at the Superhero Store each month. The is scored for Superhero Store Points based on the completion percentage (see above). It is for the practice and family interaction. In a few weeks students will have spelling words to practice. When spelling starts they will get their words in the Homework Packet on Mondays. Students will have a pre-test on Wednesdays and the Final Test on Fridays. The pre-test test is on Wednesday, and if they get 100% correct on the pre-test, they will use that score and will not test on Friday. Remember you can complete the book borrowing sheet and your child will bring home some books at their reading level. The books can be returned at anytime during the week or on Fridays.
