News for the Week of July 25th

Hello 5th grade families!

We had a great week getting to know each other and learn routines and procedures. We are ready to start our traditional weekly homework. All homework will be done in the homework composition books. Each night, please help your child settle into a homework spot and time so that success is ensured. Below is a list of assignments that are due by Friday. Ideally, the students should be completing each day's homework that night. I will be checking composition books throughout the week to ensure students are doing their homework. For the reading log, students will record the name of the book, the pages they read and 2-3 sentences on what they read each night. Parents sign next to the sentences.
