Spelling Test Thursday, December 10th

Homework:  Students will have Math homework on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday this week.  It is so important for students to work on their homework and bring it with them the next day as we use it as a learning tool and go over it as a class the next day and it does not benefit students who have not attempted the work on their own first.  I appreciate the time you give to helping your child and the rest of the class be prepared for learning the next day!
Nightly reading and recording minutes read on December Calendar is also important homework as well as practicing spelling words.
