Newsletter Week 22 1/28-2/1

Reminders:
   - Letters to the Troops are due 1/31/13; This is for a 50 point grade in Language Arts.
   - The End of the Unit Performance is Friday, 2/1/13
   - Continue Working on Multiplication Facts. Friday, 2/1/13 will be a test over the 4's.
   - Homework: I know that there are days when homework doesn't fit in, however it is not something that should become a habit. Homework is taken for a grade and can greatly weigh your child's average in the class. I always make an effort of rewarding hard work, whether it is in class, a school activity or homework. If you are unable to complete the homework for sickness or an excusable reason, please let me know.
