Welcome back everyone! I hope you had a great break! Thanks so much for the gifts. It was extremely thoughtful of all of you! The majority of parents wanted to keep the "Weekly Events" sheets the same, however I will still continue to post the spelling and vocabulary words each week on this blog.
For the next three weeks your child has chosen to read one of four different books relating to Colonial America. His/Her group will have their own vocabulary words to define and will be tested on THEIR words on Friday.
Also, students must remember that spelling and vocabulary is now to be done in CURSIVE!
