Late Work

Please connect with your child and go through their books with them.

We noticed today that there are some PENMANSHIP books that are not up-to-date and a grade of 0 will be noted in the grade book. A page a day is the requirement for penmanship and he/she has all day to complete that page. Look at their assignment sheets and compare the page # on the sheet to the page in the book.

The same should also be checked with the language and spelling books. Just compare the day's page number to the book since work is done in the book itself. You should encourage your child to bring their books home so that you can check them and we will do our best to remind them to do so.

The math work is done on notebook paper or graph paper...their choice...with the page number and date in the upper right hand corner.

History work is noted on the index cards for definitions, comprehension checks are done on notebook paper and the chapter check-ups are completed in the book.

EVERY night your child is suppose to read for 30 minutes. It can be a book of their choice or can be required reading from the tasks of the day. The reading should be done out loud to give you a good look at their reading level. This is also good practice for their confidence and fluency. When a child reads silently all the time, they will usually skip words they don't know or have problems with so that is why we strongly encourage you to lend a listening ear.

Thanks for all you do to help encourage your child!!
