Math: PB3.3

Spelling: sentences 11-15

Vocabulary slides (2)

Parents: I gave the students about 20 minutes this afternoon to work on their homework in class. Lately there’s been high number of students not completing their homework, or not doing a very good job of it.  I’ll probably do this the next couple days so they understand what the expectations are this year. Please check their homework every night. If you see sloppy work/handwriting, sentences starting with lower case letters, sentences ending without end punctuation, have them redo it.

You can also check their Math homework by having them login to the portal and Savvas. In the Google Classroom their is math help for parents if you should need to help them with their math lessons.

Please let me know if you’d like to meet or have any questions.
