HOMEWORK
Thank you for helping your children. Homework will be sent home on Mondays. If there is no school on Mondays, homework will be sent home on Tuesdays. The children will do their English homework on Monday and Wednesday. The Spanish homework will be done on Tuesday and Thursday. If your child is absent over an extended period, please pick up the packet from me, ready on Mondays. We will give your child up to the following Monday to turn it in.
Our schedule this week:
Monday (English) Packet with the /an/ words
Tuesday (Spanish) Packet with rre, rre rri, rro, rru
Wednesday (English) Packet with the /an/ words
Thursday (Spanish) Packet with na, ne, ni, no, nu
Friday Homework Due
HOMEWORK TIPS:
1. Take out the homework packet for the week from the binder and leave it at home. The children do not need to take them to school every day until Friday, when it is time to submit the packet unless they go to after school care and you want them to do their homework there.
2. Homework is graded on the following criteria:
a. Correct answers
b. Neatness
c. Timely submission
d. Following directions
3. Make sure your child writes his/her full (first and last) name on the front of the packet. Please continue practicing with your child how to write their name. We still have some who says that they are unable to do so.
4. Use RED pencil tracing; REGULAR pencil for writing; and CRAYONS for coloring. Do not use markers for coloring because they bleed and makes the paper look messy.
Keep the packet stapled, in the same order in which it was sent.
5. Timely submission is part of their grade. So please be conscientious in sending your child’s homework at all times.
For every day a student is late in submitting homework, a half-point will be deducted from the grade. The student will receive a grade of zero if homework is not submitted. We will allot extra time for completion if the student was absent due to illness, family travel, or any other unusual circumstances, on a case by case basis. If, however, after the extra time, the homework is not submitted, the student will receive a grade of zero.
6. Thank you so much for helping your child clean up his/her binder by removing finished school work that was sent home. They are doing well in practicing their organizational skill, something they will need their whole life.

2. MISSIONARY CHILDHOOD ASSOCIATION ( MCA ) CHRISTMAS ARTWORK CONTEST
We sent home together with the homework a form ( in yellow paper), that you need to fill out in order for your child to be eligible to join this contest. Sr. Leticia Ramirez has been working with the children with their art work depicting the Christmas Nativity Scene. Without this entry form, your child’s work will not be accepted by MCA. It will be a pity if after all the hard work of your child, he or she will be disqualified due to a technicality such as a missed entry form. Please send the form back on or before Monday, January 23. Thank you for your cooperation.
3. ZOO FIELD TRIP (MARK THE DATE!)
We will have a field trip to the zoo to study bears and other animals on February 3. This will be a walking tour of the zoo. There is no entrance fee for the children. However, we do need to pay for our transportation. We are currently in the process of working it out with the bus company that we used for our field trip to the pumpkin patch. We will let you know as soon as we have finalized the times and price of the bus. Parents are welcome to join us as chaperones. The zoo will let us know how much the parents have to pay to go with us if they do not have their own zoo pass. We have 20 seats open if parents want to go with us on the bus. Please fill out the survey at Shutterfly so we can divide the cost evenly.
