Homework Update

Families of Room 31 –
Today (Wednesday Aug. 28^th) the students took home a few important items, two of which are due next week.

1.  WRITER’S NOTEBOOK - Due back in school by THURSDAY Sept. 5^th but may returned as soon as they are finished.  The students are to decorate the front cover only with pictures or drawings about their hobbies, family, pets, interests.  Their decorations will serve as launching points for future writing pieces.    Please see the paper sent home today for more information.  The back has a photo copy / sample of my writer’s notebooks for ideas. 
2. ALL ABOUT ME BAG – Due back in school by Tuesday Sept. 3^rd or sooner.  There is a yellow half sheet that explains what the students are to bring in.  Information about this was also sent home in our summer letter.  We will use these bags / items as a way for students o share more about themselves.
3. COMMUNICATION SIGN UPS – This packet (yellow cover letter), includes THREE different items we need the adults to take care of for future communication / math work.  Please take the time over this long weekend to sign up into these accounts for your child.  I will be sharing more about these during our curriculum night on Thursday, September 12^th.  If you have any difficulty with any of these, please let me know.   I’d like to start using these with the students next week.

Reminder – Friday, August 30^th (Professional Development Day for teachers) and Monday September 2^nd (Labor Day), there is no school.
