Note to Parents:

Book it - Please make sure your child is reading for 20 minutes at least 5 days a week.  I know last year the students had to read a certain number of books, but this year I am asking the students to read a given amount of time due to some students reading picture books and others reading chapter books.

Assignment Pad - Please check your students book every night.  If I have written you a note or want you to know something important that happened I will write it in there.  I am asking that you sign the book if I have written you a note to make sure you are up to date on what is going on in the classroom.  Some students have overdue library books that I have wrote in the assignment pad.  Also, some students are not completing homework and I want you to be aware.

See you all on the 8th for conferences!
