September 7th, 2011

This week students will have math homework each night as well as a comprehension sheet to accompany the text "9/11."

Most students have brought home a new home-reading book. It is still the expectation that students will read in English every day.

Several students had not brought back last year's homereading book. If your child did not bring home a book today, please help your child find their book so that they may borrow a new one.

Have a wonderful week!
