Milk can be purchased for 50 cents at snack time. Birthdays are always celebrated and you are welcome to send in birthday treats for the class. Something that is easy to pass out individually is encouraged. Each child has been given a mailbox in the classroom that will hold their homework folder. Each night the children are to bring their homework folder home. Inside there will be homework assignments as well as completed assignments and notices for you. It is important that the folder is looked at every night by you and your child. Homework will not be given on the first day of school. </span></p><br /><p align="center"><span class="abody"><strong>Homework</strong></span><br /></p><p align="left"><span class="abody">Homework will consist of math pages that review the lesson that was taught that day. At the beginning of each math unit, students will bring home a parent letter that will be on blue paper. This parent letter will have information about what your child is learning in math. It also has answers to some of the math problems in case you and your child are unsure of the answer. Students will also be participating in Book It. See Book It for more information.</span><span class="abody"></p><p align="center"><strong>Spelling</strong><br />Your child's spelling words will be sent home every Monday or the first day of the week. This list is to be reviewed by your child to prepare for a spelling test on Friday. It is a great opportunity for you and your child to work together on mastering the words if time allows you to do so.</span> There won't be a spelling list for weeks that are three days or less.<br /><br /></p></blockquote><center><a name="anchor7662860"></a><b><u><span style="font-size:78%;"><img height="148" src="http://www.ashfordct.org/ClassroomFolders/BusseCWebSite/Images/boy.gif" width="92" align="bottom" border="0" naturalsizeflag="0" /></span></u></b> </center><br /><br /><center><b><u><span style="font-size:78%;">Contacting Me</span></u></b> </center><br /><br /><br /><p><span style="font-size:78%;">School Phone Number 429-6419</span><br /></p><p><span style="font-size:78%;">Note With Child</span><br /></p><p><span style="font-size:78%;">Email Address: <a href="mailto:cbusse@ashfordct.org">cbusse@ashfordct.org</a></span><br /></p><blockquote><p><span style="font-size:78%;">This is checked only at night.</span><br /></p></blockquote><center><a name="anchor7662860"></a><b><u><span style="font-size:78%;"><img height="134" src="http://www.ashfordct.org/ClassroomFolders/BusseCWebSite/Images/floor-reading2-color.gif" width="360" align="bottom" border="0" naturalsizeflag="3" /></span></u></b><br /></center><center><b><u><span style="font-size:78%;">Book It</span></u></b> </center><br /><br /><p align="left">At the beginning of each month students will be given a reading log for that month.
