Homework packet and book order

Tomorrow your children will come home with their first homework packet. It will be due next Friday. There is Math, Reading comprehension, and handwriting. When they're doing the handwriting please stress that they take their time and work top to bottom.

I am also attaching a book order. It would be great if everyone ordered at least one book. It is so much fun to see their faces on the day I pass out the books. There are even some books for as low as 95 cents.

This has been a really good week...setting procedures and expectations. Next week we start right into our reading program. Lots to learn at a pretty quick tempo. The best gift you can give to your children this year is to read with them. Please record it on the reading log. I hang up their award necklaces so they can see how many tags they've received. I give it to them at the end of the year. They love to watch their necklaces grow.

Thanks to my parents/grandparents who have chipped in with sorting the practice book pages. I'll have more soon. You're a great group of people!!
