After grading the quiz we took on Wednesday in spelling, I decided we need more time to work on Unit 2 words so we did not take the test today.  we will take it at the end of next week.

Today the weekly reading log was due.  I had 6 students that did not turn it in.  The children will have to turn in a reading log every week of the school year.  I want reading to become a part of their life.  Please encourage your child to read each night and record it on their reading log.  Your help with this is greatly appreciated

Have a wonderful and safe long weekend!!!!
