Monday night homework

We will be practicing spelling and vocabulary words again this week, but the tests will not be until the Tuesday before break. This way everyone can start out showing excellent learning for the first tests of the second trimester. We are wrapping up our Matter unit and finishing our novel before the break as well. Can't wait for a great week!
