We will be using the spelling tests that come with the reading program for the first 8-9 weeks. Then we will go into individual spelling. Those lists are the ones listed on the blog. I will list the first ones weekly in my update.

There will be homework every night this week. Each night there will be something to read and a question to answer in the agenda. Please initial the yellow box when homework has been completed.

If you have any questions, please call 333-6536 (room) or 333-4529 (home). My husband is a timber faller so we get up VERY early. Please don't call my house after 8 p.m.

Remember that Parents Night is August 19, at 6:30.
