Book orders are due Monday. I appreciate all orders. I will send the books home when they arrive.
Box tops, pop tabs, and soup labels are some things we are constantly collecting. Please keep sending them in. Thanks.
Thank you to Mackenzie. She donated items to our treasure chest.
Spelling
We are skipping L. 18's writing unit. This week is L. 19. They are words spelled with or. The test is scheduled for Friday. There is no pretest due to the shortened week. The list is in the spelling folders.
English
This week we will learn about adverbs and using to, two, and too. Look for our adjective book, Several Silly Adjective Sentences, our class made last week. I will send it home with a student each night. Thanks.
Reading
We will wrap up things with Egypt in the beginning of the week. We will continue to work in lesson 4 in our Illinois workbooks.
