  • There are no new spelling words for the rest of the year.  We will be reviewing words throughout our writing.  This means that there will not be any more formal tests on Fridays.
  • As of today, there are only 14 days left until our May homework is due.  Please don’t wait until the last minute to start this project.  Remember to pick only 6 sentence starters and write at least 3-4 sentences for each one. 
  • It is Michigan week and we are working on a packet of information that deals with our great state.  They already have been asking interesting questions.
  • I hope everyone has a great week and remember there is no school on Monday, May 26 in observance of Memorial Day.
