Please continue to check your child’s Student Planner to make sure they are completing their homework in a timely manner.  All Weekly Reading Logs are due on Monday, and Reading Bags should be going home and coming back to school completed every day.  Check your child’s Reading Response Notebook to see if they are up to date on reading assignments.  Late and missing work will effect your child’s reading grade in class.
