Wellness Committee @ Dovercourt:

| The Wellness Committee introduces the key principles to the school. |

| Members of the committee came in to lead a circle in the class where we looked at the two prompts, written below. |

Math Homework:
Homework is checked for completion. This was work that was assigned from Friday. A select set of questions were placed on the board for the students to check their work. A number of students did not do this work. Please check in with your son or daughter to see if this work was completed. Doing homework helps reinforce some of the concepts we are learning in class.
