Each week your student will bring home a homework packet to practice skills we're working on that week. All homework is due on FRIDAY but please encourage your student to complete some of the homework each day rather than saving it all for the last day. In addition to the homework packet, ALL students should spend at least 20 minutes reading each day.
I would like to take this opportunity to stress the importance of encouraging your student to do his/her best work on weekly homework assignments. To support your child's development of strong independent study habits that will last throughout their academic careers, try establishing a special time and space for doing homework. If you have any questions about homework please feel free to contact me.
A Great Somebody
by Adrienne Sealy Hardesty
I am a serious child I am a serious child with serious goals. My life is destined to be filled with positivity. I am a worker. If it takes hard work I will do it. I am a clean somebody. I know that if I lie down with hogs I can come up with mud So, I will keep my mind, my body, and my character clean. I am intelligent. My brain is a storage place. I will fill it to the brim with knowledge, and look forward with hope of what tomorrow will bring. I am a child hero. I don't spend time wasting time because I know there is room at the top for me. I am the GREATEST somebody there is. Start LEADING me now, teacher. Start GUIDING me now, teacher. Start PRAISING me now, teacher.
AND you will see me rise to the highest heights.
