Today's leveled reader introduced another person to your child. With this being said, tonight's homework will make more sense.

We are working on a project where every student will ultimately need 24 clean, dry plastic grocery bags. We do not wish for you to purchase any, part of the effort is for re-purposing these grocery bags. We will take as many as we can get.
The metal cookie sheets assist in organization and manipulation of magnetic fraction tiles. The two I donated should've been parted with a few years ago.
Report cards went home yesterday. Please send back the envelope and the comment sheet.
LOL We go out on snowy days. Please have your child dress appropriately and tell them fresh air is good for them. Some complain or they'll say "My mother/father doesn't want me to go outside." Moms and Dads, if this is true, please send me a note... signed by their doctor... Ha ha ha ha ha!

Students are, (and have been) able to use text books and their annotations for the comprehension section of their weekly tests. Because of this, there will no longer be opportunities for "test corrections." I still will request that anything receiving a 65% or below, be signed and returned.
