Information for the Week Ahead

PE ANNOUNCEMENT: As of Wednesday, January 23rd (our next PE class) all students not wearing laced up or velcro tennis shoes will not be allowed to participate and will sit on the bench. This is a safety issue. Tennis shoes are a requirement for PE. This will now be strictly enforced!

Sentences: I have wrote the warning on several of the student's spelling tests or comprehension papers. From now on sentences without a capital letter or end mark will be given zero points. We double check our answers on dictation sentences so there is no reason that at this point in the year they should be making that mistake.

Ancestor Doll: Our first ancestor's project was sent home tonight. It is due Tuesday, January 29th. The kids should decorate a doll as if it were an ancestor from long ago who lived in another country. It must be decorated as a person from a country that your family immigrated from. It does not need to be someone specific just a person from a country you are from.

I am considering making part of the homework paperless (ie I would put it online and you could check it over the weekend to get that weeks poems, assignments, etc.)What do you think?
