12/18 Update

Hi Parents and Families!

Tonight's homework is the 6-4 math sheet sheet.

Also, don't forget that tomorrow is the HES Polar Express Day.  Students may wear pajamas, but please make sure that they wear appropriate footwear.  Mrs. Thompson's class will have PE tomorrow, so keep that in mind, as well.

Also, students were told today that they may bring a small pillow, blanket, or stuffed animal to use while watching the movie tomorrow afternoon.  The only guideline is that anything they bring must fit into the backpack so that it can remain safely out of the way during morning activities.

We're excited about a fun day of holiday activities tomorrow!  Have a wonderful evening!

Daily Update 12/16

Good evening parents and families,

We hope you're all having a great week!

The only homework students will have for tonight is their math worksheet.  There are no spelling words or reading log assignments this week.  Please still encourage your child to read if he/she has the time.

Also, just a reminder that Friday is the HES Polar Express day.  Students may wear PJs to school, but please make sure all pajamas cover the body and are appropriate for the weather, and that students wear "real" shoes.  We will still have recess and want all students to be comfortable.  Also, some parents have asked about sending in treats to share on Friday.  If you'd like to do that, that is fine--we'll share them in the afternoon while watching the movie.  Please just remember that, according to district rules, homemade treats are not allowed.

Thanks so much for all your support!  Please be sure and let us know if you have any questions.

Update 12/15/2014

Parents,

Happy Monday. Due to the holiday season coming closer, there will not be any spelling or reading log this week. However, since math is done on a daily basis with new skills, there will be math homework. Please continue to have your child read as much as possible this week if they have time.

Friday will be Polar Express Day. Students are welcome to wear pajamas on that day. Please make sure they wear proper shoes since they will still be outside for recess. We ask that they do not wear slippers. If students want to bring in a snack, they may do so. If you choose to bring in a snack, please make sure it is store bought per DODEA policy and there is enough for everyone. (about 40)

Thank you and have a great week.

Update 12/11/2014

Parents,

Since the students took the topic 5 math test today, I decided to not give them math homework. However, they should be studying for the science test tomorrow using their study guide we completed in class yesterday and completing their reading log. Thank you.

12/10 Update

Hi Parents and families!

For tonight, students should continue reading (at least 20 minutes!) and working on their reading logs.  Also, don't forget to study those spelling words!

In math, students were assigned a problem set from the textbook on Tuesday night.  That homework is due tomorrow, so please check to make sure your child has finished that assignment.  There will be a math test tomorrow--Thursday 12/11.

Students also received a study guide today for the upcoming science test.  All students had the opportunity to complete this guide in class.  Please use the study guide to help your child study for the Electricity test.  That test will be on Friday, 12/12.

Have a wonderful evening!
