3. Field Trip to see the Boise Philharmonics is this Friday!  Permission slips go home today and must be returned no later than Thursday, January 9th.  The cost is $2.00.  I am also in need of 3 parent chaperons. It is on a first come, first serve basis.
4. Friday there is a make-up math test and the new spelling vocab test.  The words are listed down below.  
5. Please be asking your student about homework.  They should be reading 20 minutes a night, studying spelling and vocab, as well as finishing any unfinished classwork.  You can check their purple home school folders and their agendas to see what is due.  If you have questions, I check my email several times a night and my door is always open.
