Week 5 Sept. 11- 15

Team Urban,

Thank you to those families who have contributed to our Hope for Houston project. I will be mailing out gift cards at the end of the month. If you would like to contribute, but forgot, please feel free to send your kiddo to school with gift cards or any monetary contributions. Please keep gift cards to Amazon, Target or Walmart. With all of us doing a little, we can make a huge difference! 

Homework began last week, and many kiddos were able to complete all of their assignments. Each week your kiddo should have:

  • 4 Reading log entries (80 minutes total) Due Friday
  • Google Classroom writing (sign in using their ILCS email/password) Due Friday 
  • Math Fact Practice DUE DAILY
  • Any unfinished work from the day due the next day
