A brief pause in our Spelling word lists
We will begin Spelling List 10 today, but will not be tested on this list until next Wednesday (10/29).
Reading Homework
Beginning this week, students will be given a Reading homework packet on Monday that will be due on Friday. This
includes a very short story and subsequent workbook pages to accompany the story. These worksheets will allow the
students extra practice with their reading comprehension skills. As a class we will read the story on Mondays, but the
students are required to read it again throughout the week in order to complete the assignments. On Friday, we will
reread the story and review their answers. Again, the packet will be sent home on Monday but is not due until
FRIDAY.
Monday Snack
Just a reminder. We eat snack in our room on Mondays. The students must bring a snack from home on Mondays as
we are unable to purchase one from the lunchroom.
