Homework Work Habits
As we are getting further into the school year, homework is beginning to pick up. Please note that any paper in the RED folder is homework, and it needs to be completed and RETURNED TO SCHOOL THE NEXT DAY.
It would be a good work habit to start to have your child put each paper back into the red folder as it is completed. So often I hear, "Mom didn't put it back into the folder when I finished it last night." This may seem very harsh of me, but it is vital that good work habits be established before these children go into 3rd grade.
The number of children not bringing back homework is increasing, and they are moving clips down and missing recess because of it. Please help your child get into the habit of packing up that red folder every night, so he or she is prepared for school the next day.

Buckley Homestead Field Trip
We will be going to Buckley Homestead THIS Friday, September 27th. This entire trip is outside, so please watch the weather and dress your child accordingly. It's supposed to be beautiful, but you never know with our Indiana weather!!
Please make sure that your child has comfortable shoes (no flip-flops) as we do a lot of walking on this trip. Also, each child will need a sack lunch, no lunch boxes please! (It is much easier to just throw everything away.)

Book Fair
Book Fair is this week. If you are sending in money with your child, please put it in an envelope labeled with your child's name. This makes it easier for me, in case money gets lost.
Progress Reports
Our midterm is this Friday (9/20), and progress reports will be available through the Harmony portal next Tuesday (9/24). If you need your child's login information, please let me know, and I can direct you to the person who can get that for you.
