Homework Notebook small medium large Reading Notebook: The homework should only be taking you 10-15 minutes each night. There should only be 2/3pages (and sometimes a book to read). If you're finding it to be more than that, then your child may not be writing it down correctly. Feel free to contact Mrs. Austin at any time. Also, REMEMBER...Every Friday is a "Free Friday" ~ no homework for the weekends!

Extra Blue-Ticket Opportunities: Each Monday, the children bring home a "Family Times" Newsletter. Please take 5 minutes to sing the Rhyme Chart on the front, play the game on the inside, or complete one activity on the back. Each Thursday, the children bring home a "Buddy Autograph Book". Please take a few minutes and allow them to read the book to a few family members/friends/neighbors, and encourage them to obtain an autograph (on the back of the book) from those people. On Fridays, children may At the beginning of each Mathematics Chapter, the children bring home a cover sheet (blue - labeled with the new chapter on it). On the back, there's a letter to the parents and an activity to complete. Please take a few minutes to do this with your child. At the beginning of each Mathematics Unit, there is also a book that comes home to be read (about the main skill in that new chapter). Please help reinforce the skills we learn here at school, by reading this with your child. At the start of each month, the students have been studying about a different "Solid Shape". They have the opportunity to bring in something that has that shape, in order to earn a "free" blue ticket. They explain and explore the shape with their peers. This has been a big hit in the classroom! Thank you for all that you do at home! I know life is busy, and it's sometimes hard to find the time to do these little "extra activities". However, it's SO important to help your child make these connections! Thank you. For each of the above tasks, the students can earn "extra blue tickets". At some point, our class will be able to participate in a "Class Auction". At this time, they'll be able to spend their blue tickets to "buy" things during our auction. I've been encouraging the students to save their tickets up for this upcoming special event! Or, would you like to view and optionally restore one of these previous versions?
