Week's homework/reminders

Each night this week students will have a spelling practice with a vocabulary practice on the opposite side of the page. We will have a test over the list Friday and no homework for the weekend. If anything else is added, I will post again.

Reminders:
*Thank you to so many parents who have helped make sure students are caught up after absences.
  • Spring pictures (optional) are on Wednesday this week.
  • Please return signed report card envelopes (keep report card)
  • A note is going home with my homeroom students about our art auction basket--it is going to be great, but is pretty meager currently.
