Greetings on a Friday!

A wonderful first week of school is about to come to an end. No new homework over the weekend, in fact I do not plan on giving homework over the weekend ever unless we get behind or a big test is upcoming and I will push for doing some studying on Sat and Sunday. I know you guys are busy and hey, you need to spend time just being a family!

The only thing I would still require would be to ask your son/daughter to still read a minimum of 20 minutes per day. NO DAYS OFF ON THIS ONE! KEEP THE IDEA ROLLING TILL IT IS REALLY DRILLED IN!

For Monday:

1. Make sure you're ready for gym (gym shoes please!, non-marking)
2. Make sure your writer's notebook cover is decorated
3. Make sure any and all information papers have been turned into Mr. K (office papers, and Mr. K papers)

*Last but not least, I hope to see you all on Thursday night at Open House, a note went home yesterday
I'll see all of you from 7-7:30pm (I'm going to get started right away, I want to chat with you about my basic expectations specifically from you as parents concerning my views on homework, communication between you and I, and also concerning the help I'll need from you during the year. Come ready to take some notes or to just absorb.)

7:30-8 Book Fair

8-8:20 or so will be an information meeting on Camp Pendalouan (if you've had 5th graders who have experienced this before, nothing has really changed so you can skip if you wish, but the kids might still find it interesting.

Take care and have a great weekend everyone!

MR. K
