Sign planners on FRIDAY.

Yellow Assessment papers come home every Monday.  Have your child fix the problems they got wrong, sign the paper, and return to school by Tuesday.

The list of spelling words for the week will be posted on the right hand side of their planners.

The 5th grade is having a reading competition for hours read each term.  At the end of each week, students will total their minutes for the week.  Parents are asked to sign the planner once a week on Friday showing that you agree with their reading totals.  I will check planners every Monday.
