Dear Parents,
Welcome back for the second week of school. I hope that your child is adjusting well to the school days and that the first week has been enjoyable to them. We are still going through our new routines for the school year because there are many things that are different this year.
Homework
Your child will be bringing homework almost every night each week. This homework needs to come back the next morning. It is important for you to get your child in the habit of sitting down each night to get their homework done. The homework that is sent home will be something that each student should be able to do on his or her own. It is a review of something that we did that day. From night to night your child’s homework will change from subject to subject. Homework is something that your child should be doing independently or with support. It is ok to help or guide them but please do not do it for them.
Spelling
Each week the students will bring home a spelling list. We will be practicing the spelling words at school, please also practice the words at home. Every Friday the class will have a spelling test. The scores from the test will be a part of the students spelling grade. Attached to the spelling list will be a spelling game that the students can play at home as a way to practice.

The blog is now up and running. If you haven’t checked it out this year please do. All notes that come home will also go up on the blog. This is also a great place to see what we have been doing this week in the classroom.
The website is http://mranderson20102011.blogspot.com *I know that it isn’t 2010-2011. I am keeping the same link as last year! Another way to find the blog is to go to Sandstone’s homepage, click the STAFF hyperlink, click on the Mr. Anderson hyperlink.
