I passed out information about the book report project for the third trimester. It is a fun one, but requires some planning ahead. Make sure and read 30 minutes each night and you will easily finish your book. I recommend finishing by the end of spring break to work on your project.

We will have spelling practice Monday night, Tuesday night and Wednesday night this week. The quiz will be Thursday because of the assembly Friday. We are working with test taking skills, so make sure you do the back of the page Monday through Wednesday and the practice Thursday. These pages are practice similar to an ITBS or end of level, but what is important is the discussion we can have about them to help us understand general test-taking skills.

*School Spirit Week* Tomorrow is backward uniform day, Wednesday is wear as much red, white, and blue for school pride as you can, Thursday is best dressed day, and Friday is school spirit day. You can wear NDPA t-shirts that may be purchased at lunch for 8.00 or just sport your uniform!
