Our story next week is about Satchel Paige, a

Leagues before any black players were allowed to play in the
major leagues. He certainly endured much prejudice and maintained his calm when challenged by unfair practices of others

We will work on a way to hook the reading in our

Spelling-Our list focuses on adding ed

Note From the Teacher:

Remember you can access what homework your child has by looking at their agenda or looking on the
website. It is possible that your child may come home with no or very little homework if they use study table wisely. I normally give them 20-30 minutes at the end of the day to use as a study table. Please help
your child get into a routine of doing their homework every night.
Students are given the opportunity for extra credit. In math, this extra credit is in the text book. On
the topic that we are in they may turn in the extra credit found at the end of each topic. Also, students are
asking me if they can take home their books. YES!!!! The books are very important to find the answers to
homework questions.
