We have finished the 3rd quarter and now are on the home stretch. Once again this is a good time to remind your children there is always room for improvement. Several suggestions: listen to and follow directions correctly, take your time and always turn in your best work, complete your work, take out a book and read or write in your journal when you are finished with your work. Do not bother your neighbors by talking. Report cards will go home on Friday. You may sign and return them when we meet at conferences.
Thank you to all that drove to The Hampshire/Emeritus on Friday. We will going to Park Merced on Wednesday. I will be using all that have signed up to drive.
Thursday evening is the 8th Grade Dinner Show. It is always quite entertaining and the dinner is delicious. Hope to see some of you there.
On Monday and Tuesday a reading envelope will go home with a book in it. Your child is to read the book to you. There is a list of questions on the back of the packet. You should go over them with your child. Your child is to pick one question and answer it. The answer will be written in the planner. This is considered homework. Therefore it is very important that your child complete this assignment, you initial the envelope and return it the following day. Some of the books are easier than others. Easy books are good for improving reading fluency. Harder books challenge your child.
We continue to review counting money. Some of your children are having difficulties. Please work with them every night. We will begin working with a quarter on Tuesday or Wednesday.
I had a good response for Community Helpers. I will be jotting a note in your child's planner to set up a day and time. Thank you for volunteering to come in. It is not too late to turn in your slip if you are still interested in coming in to speak to the class.
St. Vincent lunches are to be brought in on Friday.
