Coming Up This Week...

Hi!
It is an important skill for students in both grade levels to learn to complete work in a timely manner. Many students are not using class time wisely, and thus, are not completing work accurately and completely. Students are expected to complete this work at their valued time (recess), but we have found this is not a very conducive environment for completing work. Since so many students are struggling with this, one of us will be staying in each day Monday through Thursday to see that this work gets completed. Students will join their classes outside on the playground once they are finished. Students who do not complete their unfinished assignments during this time will be expected to take it home to complete it. We will attach a note to it to let you know that he/she did not get it finished even during the time given. We hope this will help those students to work more efficiently, so that taking it home will not be necessary. However, if the work is brought home, we expect that you will see that it is completed and returned the following day. Thanks for your help with this!

Third Grade Parents: Don't forget about Daily Reviews (we call them DRs). There will be a quiz over these each week on Thursday. (We gave it on Friday last week, but it will be on Thursdays from now on). I explained this in the newsletter coming home tomorrow, but if you have questions, you can let me know. Thanks for helping your child review these important concepts so they can hopefully transfer to long-term memory!

Thanks for all you do!
