Just a few reminders:
If your child does not have 8 pts for A.R by tomorrow they will be staying in for recess to read. Also, starting tomorrow those that have unexcused missing assignments will also stay in for recess. Homework is a very important part of the 3rd grade curriculum. It is a time for you and your child to review the concepts that have been taught in class. Homework is posted on the weblog and in should have been written down in assignment notebooks. There have been many unexcused missing assignments throughout the 1st Quarter.
