Today was a busy day! Expect more of the same tomorrow. Don't forget to study those vocabulary and spelling words! We started the IOWA Test of Basic Skills today. We will continue the test tomorrow, and finish on Monday. Parents can expect the results at the first parent/teacher conference. We are ready for a test in math, but the kids escaped before I could assign any homework or test. I have a color-by-number chart where the kids get to color in a section each time I get 18/20 (90%) homework completion. They color two sections if there's 100% completion. When the sheet is completely colored in, the get a bonus recess. So far, they have not colored a single section. Does your child have homework? If they do, I can guarantee that they don't have much! I'm getting tired of the "I did it, but left it at home" excuse. Let's get it done and get that bonus recess!!
