*With less than 20 days till the 100^th day of school I am expecting more from the children. Second grade is right around the corner!  If your child is not completing work in class I will send home to be completed for homework.  If it is not completed at home they will complete during recess the following day.

*Neatness is also expected.  Please encourage this in homework as well.

 Please ask your child what supplies they need,  many seem to need pencils and glue.
