progress
Ms. Jones wishes to thank all of our parents and friends that helped with the
Book Fair. Money earned at the Fair goes toward library needs.
Thank you Ms. Sandlin and all her volunteers who helped make farm day a success.

Homework Guidelines
Homework is defined as an assigned activity which is primarily accomplished
outside of regular class time. The purpose of homework is to:
*Extend or make more meaningful concepts introduced at
school.
*Engage students in purposeful practice relevant to their
learning.
*Develop effective student habits.
*Develop independent learning skills.
Parents should encourage students each day to complete their homework. Set
aside a regular time for studying, encourage your student to work independently
but offer assistance when asked.
