Last but not the least - Homework

Your child will bring his/her book bag home every day from Monday to Thursday every week.  Inside the book bag he/she will have one of the followings to do:

-          A  book to read to/with you

-          A spelling list to learn and write

Please make time to listen to, talk with and praise your child for bringing his/her work home.  Before the book bag is returned to school the next day please sign on the folder so I can change the book for the next day.

Every Friday the poetry book will come home.  Your child will be able to share with you the poems we have been working on at school.

Once again thank you for your support from home.
