I sent out an email because I was concerned that some students may not pass along the message regarding the change to tonight’s math homework. 
 
We have been spoiled by the weather up to this point and haven’t had to deal with snowpants, boots, hats, gloves, etc. and I’ve forgotten how long it takes 29 children to get completely dressed to go home (and apparently 10 minutes isn’t enough time – YIKES!)  Some children were still struggling with their boots and snowpants when I was telling them about the change to tonight’s math homework so I have a feeling they were only half-listening (and that’s probably being generous!)
 
Instead of the “Partial Sums Addition Homework” which was listed on the homework sheet for Wednsday, the students took hoome the Unit 4 Review packet.  There are several pages to this but it’s actually only 16 problems.  I want students to have plenty of time to work on this so they can work on it tonight and tomorrow night.  It is not due until Friday.  If students want to turn it in on Thursday, that’s fine.  They won’t have to do it again on Thursday night for homework.  
 

Two homework papers were found on the floor and we don’t know who lost them, so if your child doesn’t have a homework paper, click on the links below to print them.

Wednesday and Thursday Homework- Math Review

Wed. Homework – spelling pp. 85-86

Thursday Homework – pp. 89-90
 
And a last note…. Nobody took home a January Behavior Calendar today because they were rushing around getting dressed and I told them I didn’t want them to get stressed out about packing up their calendar since I hadn’t passed them out yet.  I told the children to tell you that I would give them a sticker even though you hadn’t signed it as long as they had their homework. 
 
We’ll be sure to stop our math lesson at 3:20 in order to get packed up and leave extra time for getting dressed in all our winter gear from now on!
