9/10 Homework


LA and MATH: Sign and return the manilla Friday Folder on Monday. Parents you may keep the papers inside. Today was our first test day. The students are just learning the procedure. Some of the grades reflected that. So don't worry. I was able to learn a lot about the students' learning styles and needs. We will make adaptations for next week. Each week we will have a spelling, grammar and reading comprehension test. We will also have a math unit test or a math box quiz. I usually put the grades into a fraction. The bottom number is the total number of questions and the top is the number the child got correct.

Fundraisers and book fair notices also went home with your youngest child at OCS.
Remember 9/11 and enjoy your weekend!
