Today is a ‘D’ day, so we will go to Gym. Make sure you have your gym clothes and deodorant. Then take out your ELA homework from last night and place it on your desk. I would like to check it while you are at gym. If you have a late homework assignment, like your Independent Reading Letter or your Imaginary Nation, please get them handed in to me right away this morning. There are many of you who owe me missed assignments. Mrs. Sargent and I want to see you being more responsible with your homework. Please pick up an Ipad and work on the P2P.
Thank you,
Mrs. Sargent & Mr. T.
