HOMEWORK FOR JUNE 5, 2017
2nd grade has science notes in the next sentence. Click on the link Right here Some students finished these in class, but either way, I will check them on Wednesday, so make sure you write them in your science notebook.

3rd grade worked on writing letters in class, it was shocking to see that only about 3 students out of 17 know their home address. We went over how it is important to know their home address and their parents actual names( not mom and dad) along with their phone number. Please review this at home. Next week I will give students an assessment on knowing this information and compare it to their emergency cards given in at the start of the school year.

4th grade, besides reviewing for religion, make sure you keep working on the map of the month. This is a project grade. It is due June 15th.
