Our class voted on Friday's "Costume Day", which means that they can pretty much dress up however they want to. Limitations: No inappropriate costumes such as a witch, axe-murderer, or anything that might offend or upset another student.

Helping Your Child Clean Out Their Binder...
Question 1: What student work can stay at home?
It is great that many of my students' parents want to help their child stay organized and clean out their binder with them. However, sometimes I have the students grade their own paper and then keep it until further notice. Please remember to only clean papers out of their binder if there is a grade on it written by a teacher. This means that I have entered it into my gradebook and it is ready to be kept at home.
Question 2: What should I do with student work that stays at home?
Please keep all graded student work in a folder at home until after report cards. If there is an error in the gradebook, then you can show me the graded student work as evidence that they did, in fact, do the work. That way, the student doesn't need to redo anything if they have already completed it once.

Extra Student Help
For those students who want additional help with their work, I let them know that I am here for them. As long as they give me advanced notice, I would love to help during any recess, lunch, or after school...any day...Monday through Friday! If your child would benefit from extra help, encourage them to take the initiative and give up some of their personal time to get the help they need.
