How can I study for the reading test?
Each week, we complete a 3-column graphic organizer & a set of ERT (everyone read to) questions on the story. These should be placed in the "response journal" section of the binder. We also write the vocabulary in the "vocabulary" section. These three things will ensure success on the weekly test.Back to Top

How do I know what my child has for homework?
Your child should be writing homework down daily in their agenda. Even if we have given no homework, they should have the word NONE. Sometimes, I will place important notes in the agenda. Please check this and the important papers section of the math binder nightly.Back to Top

May I bring a treat for my child's birthday?
Yes, please bring in a treat. However, we do ask that you bring enough for the entire class so that some students are not left out. We currently have 24 students. Also, please make sure that it is something easy to pass out and not a cake that we have to cut.Back to Top
