Please make sure you have looked over and signed progress reports. Also remind students to find any missing assignments and turn them in. If they can't find them, they need to ask me for a copy. If there isn't a grade listed and no missing assignment list attached, the missing assignments were likely turned in after grades were due. There is room for improvement, that's the most important thing. Please continue to make sure they are turning in their class work/homework on time, studying, and trying their best! As always, homework assignments are circled daily in their planners. Keep checking their homework folders, and sign their planners everyday.

We are now in our 5th week of school. Students should be well into our routines of writing in our planners, completing all of their classwork/homework assignments, and turning them into our class trays. Please continue to check their homework folders, and check/sign their planners everyday. It is extremely important that students complete all of their homework and turn it in ON TIME! I have been accepting late work for the last month. By the 5th week, students need to be responsible and held accountable. An updated missing assignment list went out again on Monday (last Fri was their first list). If they are unable to find these assignments, they need to ask me for extra copies.

Hope everyone had a relaxing Labor Day weekend!! It will be a short yet busy week. Please continue to check their homework folders and sign their planners everyday. We added an extra routine at the end of the day. We review what we accomplished throughout the day, which is listed in their planners, and circle our homework assignments. Hopefully this will reinforce to the students what needs to be done for homework, and also allow parents to double check with their homework folders. Listed below are some abbreviations we use in their planners. Students know these abbreviations, but just wanted to list in case we had any confused parents :) RN and CR refer to Language Arts RN= Journeys Reader Notebook ex. RN 21= Reader Notebook pg 21 CR= Close Reader ex. CR 6-8 = Close reader pages 6-8 WB refers to Math and Science WB = Workbook pages ex.
