HOMEWORK:

each word (must do both)

Tuesday – Write spelling words from list #2 5 times each and make up a sentence for
each word (must do both)

Wednesday/Thursday – Language Arts worksheets and/or Math worksheets

Friday – If all students turn in their homework, there will be no weekend homework; otherwise, Language Arts worksheet and/or Math worksheet

FYI:
Please return report card envelopes signed by Friday.

We had a great time doing our leaf rubbings on Friday. Thanks for allowing your child to find leaves and bring them in.

From now on, students will take a practice spelling test on Thursdays. Anyone who passes with an 80% or better will not have to take the test on Friday.

Progress folders go home on Mondays. Please look over any work in the folder and read the behavior sheet. There should be no surprises to your child’s progress if this is being done.

The student council will be selling Valentine grams this week for $2.50.

We collected $24.00 last week for dress down. The money is going toward the yearbook.

Our next field trip will be March 30 at Glendale Community College for Water Safety Day. Chaperones will be needed. If anyone would like to go, please plan ahead and get a fingerprint card to the office before this date.

Perfect attendance for January: Andrella, Noe, Katie, Lorraine, Dayanara, and Jose
Keep up the good work!

Sincerely,
Beth Hernandez
