The goal is to be finished with Shackelton by Thanksgiving break. The next Unit will be States and Capitols of the
United States beginning December 1st.
Parents, remind your child to touch base with me when they miss a day of school in order to get their make-up work. We
take an attendance grade periodically and it includes being on time to class, being prepared (Having a writing utensil and
book). I also spend a lot of time reminding them to be accountable for their work and bring a good, positive attitude to class.
Your help in asking them about their progress in class and reminding them to do these things is greatly appreciated.
