Two days left to prepare for our assessments on Friday. This is a challenge with a four day week--be sure to study. Practice that silly persuasive essay outline dance. Lets see who knows it tomorrow! Exciting events to come in our novel, Johnny Tremain tomorrow.
I wish I would have thought to post these spelling lists earlier. I suppose you should (in theory) have your own copy in your possession each night. Next week I will get these posted earlier in the week for at home practice.
