Happy Friday!
I have been gone for the majority of this week to Camp WeWa in Apoka, FL. I have been considering how to best get the homework out to everyone since posting the homework for the week is not as helpful as I had hoped it would be. There are homework assignments that re-occur throughout the quarter such as Spelling work and Handwriting work. Please be aware that as long as there are spelling words posted there will be corresponding word work. Other subjects such as Science, Social Studies and Bible will have varying assignments.Occasionally there will be assignments with Language Arts, Art, and Spanish. Please check the blog daily as I will try to regularly post the assignments that come up during the week that are not re-occurring. This coming week's spelling words will be posted on Monday. Have a great weekend!
Note: Esperanza Rising dioramas are due on Monday for those who did not turn them in today otherwise the grade goes in as a zero.
