and a note it will describe the action that they performed that was unacceptable. This is where I need you as parents to help me try to correct a certain behavior.

0 What is addressed in class on these days will be sent home. It is important as a parent to go over these papers to see where your child is developmentally.

0 Tuesdays and Thursdays a spelling chart will be sent home. On these days the student are to write sentences using their vocab and other fun activities to get them familiar with these words.
