Homework

Miss Palfey's Third Grade class representatives, of the Dallas Elementary 
School,  wanted to bring a smile to other children's faces this holiday 
season.  They held a Toy Drive from Dec. 1 until Dec. 15 for Toys for Tots.  
On Dec. 15, two men from the U.S. Marine Corps came to their classroom to 
collect, then deliver, through a new toy at Christmas, a message of hope to 
less fortunate youngsters that will assist them in becoming responsible, 
productive, patriotic citizens.

Third grade students have been given a yellow planner (assignment 
book) to use each and every day.  The children are given time at the end 
of each  school day in which to write down their assignments which are 
posted on our classroom homework board.  The planner is your key to knowing 
everything that is going on in our room!  Some other things included in the 
homework planner are book report due dates,upcoming tests, future 
activities, book order due dates and much more!  I ask parents to sign the 
students' planners nightly to ensure the completion of assignments!  For the 
first 2 months of school I will check each student's planner daily to make 
sure it's being used properly and successfully.  After each student has 
mastered the correct use of the planner, I'll still ask parents to sign it 
nightly.  Thank you for taking the time to work with your child and me.
