Please check your child's homework folder this weekend. I have written a brief comment about your child at the bottom of the homework sheet for this week. Please sign it after you have reviewed it. My thanks goes to everyone who had been signing the homework sheets prior to this for checking on your child's homework routine. Weekends are also a good time to empty the folder of old work.

Here's what to expect next week:

• Schools will be closed on Monday for Columbus Day.
• We begin a new math unit on Monday. Understanding Multiplication will focus on what multiplication is and how it appears in concrete situations. It is actually unit 3 in our workbook. Unit 2 will be taught later in the year. 
• Music class will meet every Friday. Please make sure your child has a recorder in class. on this day. We've posted a short video to our playlist of our first music class. Please check it out to the left of this post. 

Have a wonderful three day weekend!
