Dear Parents:

Homework - Please make sure that your child writes their first name, last name
and number on ALL assignments.  Points will be deducted if all 3 things are
not included.

Late Homework - Please make sure your child turns homework in on time.  Five
points will be deducted for each day the assignment is late.  

Volunteer Opportunities - If you would like to volunteer to do an art project,
read a book to the class, or come in for any other project please feel free to
contact me.  We love to have visitors. 

Snack - Please remember to pack your child a healthy snack for the afternoon.
Snack is NOT provided by the school.  Please send a snack that is easy for
your child to finish in 20 minutes and will not create a mess in the
classroom.  Remember that our classroom is carpeted and we are trying to avoid
spills as much as possible.  Students may only drink water or milk during
snack.  Do not send juice.  

Sight Words - I will be pre-testing students on their Primer Sight Words
beginning November 16.  Please help your child with the words. A list can be
found in the class documents portion of my website.

Scholastic Book Orders will be sent home on Friday.  There is no obligation to
buy from the Book Order.  The Book Club is an easy, inexpensive way to build a
library for your child.  If you would like to order please check of the titles
you would like on the order form and send a check (Payable to Scholastic Book
Clubs) or EXACT change.  Please send orders in by NOVEMBER 11.  You may also 
order online at scholastic.com.  Click on parent - user name: msmalik
