SPACE STUDY
In December we are studying Space!  This is always a fun unit.   Sometime in Janurary we will have a "Space Walk."  We'll send more info. later, but your student can start saving empty 2 liter soda bottles, old dryer hoses, white trash bags, etc. to make a space suit!

 RESPONSIBILITY
Please help your child learn the value of being responsible by reminding them to do the following:
  • Monday - Bring back Friday Folder - signed
  • Tuesday - Bring back Agenda - signed & wear Tiger T-shirt
  • Daily - Study D.O.G. each evening and be ready to answer questions the next day. 
  • Study spelling at home and be prepared for the test on Friday. 
  • When homework is assigned, bring it back completed the next day. 
 PLEASE NOTE CHANGES: 
Starting the first week in January, there will  be NO bonus words on spelling tests.  All 20 words will be counted as regular words. 

We also will be writing mostly in cursive to prepare for4th grade.  When students enter 4th grade, they are expected to be able to do all their work in cursive.
