Reminders and Announcements
Scholastic Books- I am sending home a Scholastic book order form. Please fill out the order form and return it with a payment by September 3rd. If paying with a check, please make it payable to Scholastic Book Clubs. You can order online with our class username: msperea and the password: welovebooks. The class will receive a free book with every online order!
Lunch Money- If possible, please send your child with a check to pay for his/her lunch. It is a much safer way for lunch money to travel from home to school.
Library Contract- A Contract of Library Resources form was sent home last week. Please make sure this is signed and returned as soon as possible in order for your child to be able to check out books at the library.
Entertainment Books- Sell, sell, sell! Please support La Paloma Academy and sell those Entertainment Books! The class will be earning class money for every
Water Bottles- It is important for your child to keep a water bottle at school in order to cut down on visits to the drinking fountain during lessons. They will be kept in the classroom during the week, but must be taken home on Friday to be cleaned and returned on Monday.
Planners- The students will be writing down their homework in a planner. This will help them with their organizational skills. You may buy a planner at the front desk for $2.50. If you don’t want to purchase one from the school, I will provide a homework journal sheet that will be kept in their homework folder.
Parent Input Forms- Please make sure you have completed and returned the Parent Input form that I sent out last week. It is important for me to get to know your child! If the form has been misplaced, please write me a note or have your child ask for a copy. Thank you!

Homework
Reading Logs
My requirement for reading is that the students will be reading 20 minutes, 5 days per week. If they skip a day during the week, please make sure they are reading over the weekend. The log should be filled in when the reading occurs, and must be initialed by a parent/guardian. The logs will be turned in to me on the last day of every month. They are due next Tuesday. Happy reading!
