Homework

My class has math homework tonight. They need to complete home 1-7 and remembering 1-7. There are a few problems that I told them to skip to lighten the load. 🙂 Have a great night!

 

Reminder

Just a little reminder to:
  • check in with your child and initial their reading log so they can receive credit for reading 100 minutes this past week.
  • dress for picture day.  We are scheduled for tomorrow after lunch.

Mrs. Walenta’s class has homework tonight! Many of the students did not complete their math homework and remembering sheet during math time today. We also have a social studies assessment tomorrow on government. The kids brought home a packet to study. Much of the government content is review from 4th grade with a new emphasis on federalism. In addition, I hope the students are working toward the 100 weekly reading minutes. Have a great night.
