Homework

 ~MY DOG ATE MY HOMEWORK~
            My dog ate my homework.
            That mischievous pup
            got hold of my homework
            and gobbled it up.
            My dog ate my homework.
            It's gonna be late.
            I guess that the teacher
            will just have to wait.
            My dog ate my homework.
            He swallowed it whole.
            I shouldn't have mixed it
            with food in his bowl.

     Mrs. Horst and Mrs. Rettman give out homework twice a week, usually on 
Monday and Wednesday.  The goal is to return the assignment in one or two 
days.  There will be long-range projects for each theme.  Directions on 
completing these tasks are given with the assignment, as well as a picture 
presentation of projects that we have received in previous years.  We 
encourage all families to address questions and concerns directly to Mrs. 
Rettman through e-mail or a note can be sent with your child.  We will try 
very hard to respond in a timely manner.

     We certainly see a direct correlation between student achievement and 
reinforcement at home!  Many thanks for helping your children to set up good 
habits for future years. And, always remember to read, read, read to your 
children every day!
