Homework Please help your child complete their monthly homework calendar.  Your child will receive a prize from our treasure chest when his/her form is returned to school with your signature. This homework is not mandatory but  can be used to reinforce what we learn in class.   If your child brings home something that is not completed, please ask them about it and encourage them to complete at home if possible.  Sometimes the students fall behind or just need the quiet space of home to concentrate on some of the activities.
