Homework:
   Math:       page 199 #2,3,4 and 6
   Reading:   Home reading Log (Tues) 
                   If your child does read at home but doesn't fill out the reading log,
                           could you please write a note in their agenda letting me know.
   Spelling:   Thur.
   Socials:     all drafts are due by Friday


Friday:
   Friday is a half day with the afternoon reserved for parent-teacher meetings. 
Unfortunately, I will be away all day Friday and won't be available for any meetings
on that day.  I would be happy to meet anyone having a concern on the following
Tuesday or Thursday afternoon.  If I have any concerns about your child, I will
contact you. If you would like to meet, please email me.

Hot Lunch Day:
   It is hot lunch day tomorrow.  There will not be any extra pizza for sale but sometimes
if a child is away, we will try to sell their piece so that we can return the absent child's
money.  For this reason, your child may bring $2, just in case, if they want to.

Mathletics:
Our class has had an opportunity to sign onto the Mathletics (online) program.  Your child
is welcome (and encouraged) to log on and explore some of the options available.  Your
child will have some assignments that are required to be done, and others are optional. Feel
free to ask your child to show you the site.  All students have their username and password
taped to the inside of their agenda.

Interim Report Cards:
Interims will be sent home later this week.  I have tallied up all assignments done to this date
and the interims will show a letter grade for most subject areas.  Some of the letter grades are
low due to incomplete assignments or assignments that were never handed in. I've informed
most students what they are missing. 

Wall Math:
Wall Math is an area that many students need to put more effort into.  There are 6 (now 7)
questions to answer each week. One on each of the areas of study that we have done.  The
questions are up on Monday morning and they are due at 8:30 Friday morning.  We mark
them together and then the corrections are due the following Monday.  Please ask to see your
child's Math Journal and look through their work.
