**NOTES TO PARENTS**
My grading marks mean the following: Check plus means the student got full credit for the assignment usually 3 points. Check and ½ means they received 2.5 points. A check means they received 2 points and a check minus means they received 1 point and must redo part of the assignment. 3 points is the most points that can be earned on an assignment that is graded with check marks.
If you bring in a snack for the class it must be store bought. I appreciate any snacks you bring in for the class.
Open House will be on Wednesday, Sept. 1st from 6:00 -8:00 p.m. At the Open House you may preorder yearbooks for this school year. The Book Fair will also be open.

Also please make sure your child has a school planner. This will be used all year to keep up with homework and also as a communication tool between home and school. Parents need to sign homework planners nightly.
During our reading time this year I will pull groups of students (usually 6 to 7 students) for 15 to 20 minute blocks of time. I will work with each group at their reading level. The other students will work at their tables. This week in Reading I will assess the students to determine which reading groups they will be placed in.
