Entry #3 

Hello Parents and Guardians, 

I am pleased to say that everyone did a fantastic job on the Native American dioromas. Thank you for working with your child and supporting him or her on this project. As we reach spring break, I encourage you to encourage your child to read. I am still sending home the weekly reading log for spring break week. Your children need to read and build relationships with literature. I hope that you will partner with me to help your children build this relationship with reading. I do not want reading to be a dreaded homework assignment but an enjoyable one. 

I also would like you to be aware of a reoccurring problem we are having in class. As you know, I have only a few rules in my classroom. My number one rule is that your child tries their very BEST. As a class, the students are becoming lazy. I know the year is coming to a close rather quickly, but I still hold to the same expectations. I have discussed the problem with the class as a whole, but I am asking you to speak with them about this issue too. I have told them that their future job, wherever it may be, will ask for their best work, so they need to learn how to be good workers. I strongly encourage you to speak to your child about your job and what is expected of you. Thank you for helping me to address this issue, and as always you are welcome to contact me with any questions.
