Mrs. Meridith ~ 2019-2020
Important Information
The year is going so fast!! October is very busy, so please make sure you look at the dates below.

Homework: Your child should be bringing Home Links home 3-4 times a week. If we have time in class, I will let them work on it then. If they bring it home, they should not be spending more than 15 minutes on it. If they aren't finished in 15 minutes, please have them bring it back to school and I will help them.
Reading Logs & Book It: Reading logs are being sent home for the month of October. Please have your child record the number of minutes that they read each night. Once the month is over, they can bring it back to school for a free personal pan pizza coupon from Pizza Hut (Book It.) They need to read 300 minutes each month to earn their free pizza.
Halloween Day: On Halloween, we will be having our parade and then our party. Your child is welcome to bring their costume with them to change into, or they can wear it to school. Please make sure you don't send any weapons or let them wear a lot of face make up.
