Homework

Dear Parents,  

1.  Please check your child's "Take Home Folder" each night.  There may be 
notes from the teacher, school, or PTA in it.  Your child is responsible for 
returning the folder the next morning.  He/she should put any notes brought 
from home, including how he/she goes home that day, in the mailbox on my 
desk.

2.  If a change is made on how a child goes home...it MUST be in WRITING and 
put in the mailbox upon arrival at school.  If you check your child out from 
school, please do not come to the room, but check your child out from the 
office.  The office will call me over the intercom, and your child will meet 
you at the office.

3.  Your child will have some "homework" to do.  Please see that he/she is 
responsible in accomplishing it, returning it the next morning, and putting 
it on the "blue bear" shelf for the teacher to check.  If your child needs 
help with math homework, please help him/her.  The homework will be a review 
of what we are learning in class.  Drop me a note if he/she or you have 
problems understanding the homework, and I'll get back to you ASAP.     

4.  Your child will also be bringing home an "Overnight Express" folder.  This
 folder will contain a leveled book and a reading log for you to fill out as the
 books are read.  The leveled books will be a level that your child can read
 independently.  The books he/she reads with me will be more difficult.  Have
 FUN together, and enjoy this time with each other!  Your attitude toward reading
 will be reflected in the eyes of your child and will build upon his/her knowledge 
for the future.  You may also list other books you read together on the log!  
 
                                              Thanks,
                                              Linda Bailey
