Homework packets are coming home on Tuesday. They will be due the following Monday, February 22nd. The packets may be turned in earlier, if needed. All students completing work, earn pirate coins and Dojo points for their table!
Students have a written assignment in their packet this week. Please work on having your child write neatly and add a picture to the top. Students should be able to write at least 3 sentences on the topic. We are working on writing our letters neatly, spacing, capitals, punctuation and spelling. If you are in need of pencils for this assignment, please let me know and we will send some home with your child. These pages are collected and put into a class book that is kept in our class library.
