1-16-13 Daily Updates

Parents,

Birthday Treats.  Feel free to have your child bring in a birthday treat on or near their birthday if you like.  Please keep in mind, however, that I do not have a fully stocked kitchen in my classroom so please send napkins and something to cut or serve the treat if it is needed.   Better yet, keep it simple.  Cookies, pre-cut brownies, and rice crispy treats make good simple options.

Language Quiz.  Students had a take home quiz over plural nouns for homework on Monday.  Most students did really well on this, but some did not.  Those who earned a C or less (81%) were asked to Correct and Return (CAR) this paper for homework tonight to raise this grade.  Corrections should be done on loose leaf paper.


Reminders:
  • No school - Fri., January 18th (Teacher Work day)
  • No school - Mon., January 21st (MLK Day)
  • Send in your Boxtops if you have any, please.
