We enjoyed the first week of fall! The weather the latter part of this week certainly put us in the fall state of mind.
It was so nice seeing everyone who was able to attend Back to School Night on Thursday. It was great to share with you all that your child will be learning during their 5th grade year. If you were not able to attend, no worries as you should have received an email Friday afternoon of the presentation that was shared. Feel free to reach out to me should you have any questions.
Homework:
Just a friendly reminder to please check to ensure that your child is completing daily homework assignments. This daily practice is so important to your child’s success. It also allows me to check for student understanding of the material. Each day students will have homework assignments in math, reading, and English to complete. Occasionally, they will have social studies or science. Students have a printed “homework sheet” in their purple folder each week and it can also be found on the Schoology home page.
