Every Wednesday I will send home a homework sheet for you to work on with your son or daughter.

Practice homework is to reinforce learning and to help students master the skill they are working on.

I want this to be a fun or special time that you can sit down with your child and talk about the sheet and what they are doing.

Make it fun and mix it up!  For example use crayons, markers or pencils.

Send homework back by Friday and your student will receive a sticker and positive praise from Mrs. Schuit 🙂

We need to work together as a team if you want your son or daughter to be the best they can be.  Thank You for the support.

This is what we will be working on the week of Nov. 9th, 2015

I would like all parents to sign up for a 30 minute conference so we can discuss your students progress and I can answer any questions you may have.  Please fill out the sheet that was sent home last week with the time and date you would like to meet.  I will call you if I need to switch the time or day.  I had a few parents sign up for the same time.  Thank You to all the parents who have already sent their sign up sheet back.  I expect 100% participation on parent/teacher conferences.  We need to work together as a team and this is a perfect opportunity for us to sit down and talk.  I look forward to seeing you.

I need your help!  I need to know what families are receiving this blog because it is a great way for us to communicate with each other.  If you can respond back and say you have read this blog that would be very helpful.

Tomorrow is Picture Day!  Payment Due at Camera.  Go to Lifetouch.com or see the flyer that was sent home. Don’t forget your smile 🙂
