Notes from the Teacher Please remember that homework is due on FRIDAYS! The children have all week to prepare for returning the packet to school on Friday morning with a parent signature. Establishing this responsibility now is so important. I check the homework folders every morning for Reading Logs and look for your signature to show that your child has been reading!
