Please initial the planner each day at the bottom to show us that you are aware of what has been assigned!
The blue take home folder is in your child's binder! Please have your child share these with you. You will see papers in there throughout the year at random times. Please prompt your child to bring you those items when they appear!
Ask your child if he/she is leaving class a lot to get a drink of water! If so, please send your child with a WATER BOTTLE to keep here in class and refill each day!

PLEASE MAKE SURE YOUR CHILD HAS PLENTY OF PENCILS INSIDE HIS/HER BINDER!!! Most students do not have pencils each day and this makes things challenging for them!
