Next Week

With the short week next week and getting acclimated to non-fiction stories, we are pushing back the next reading test to Tuesday, Nov. 8.  The comprehension questions from page 193 will be postponed until Monday.  Also, there will be some missing assignment work coming home in their yellow folders so please have that turned in by Wednesday with the end of the first quarter coming on Thursday.  Feel free to check parent portal or email with any questions about missing assignments.  I also told the students that I will not accept late homework for full credit in the second quarter.  If they are absent, they can turn HW in late, other than that, 1 day late is half credit and it will be a zero after 2 days.  Please to not keep the weekly homework to make it into a packet as we are trying to make this group as independent as possible.  Also, your child should be writing their homework down EVERY NIGHT! (EVEN FRIDAY).  If they are not, I have been writing notes in agendas this week for you to check.
