Many of you have seen a homework slip (or two..) make it's way home in your child's agenda. Last week was the first week that we held the students accountable for getting all of their work and materials back and forth each day. There is so much to remember....the agenda must get signed, the reading log needs to be filled out, math fact combinations need to be practiced, the novel they are reading must go home each night (and make its way back to school!). We are doing many things on our end to help your student get their homework recorded accurately. Our initials show you that we have reviewed their agenda and ensured that they have written everything down correctly. Additionally we review each afternoon what needs to go home in their backpacks, and we have provided them with a packing check-list to use. We had a great class meeting to share strategies about successfully getting everything back and forth. The kids had so many great ideas about how to be organized! This is a terrific time to talk with your child about routines at home to help ensure success in this area. We know they are learning the routines and will all be working on this!
