Language Assignments have been distributed for this week.  I did not give out a hard copy of the spelling assignment, so I am posting it here.  

Choose one of the three options below:

1.  Write your spelling words 3 times each.

2.  Write your spelling words in different colors.

3.  Write your spelling words in sentences and underline.  You may use more than one word in a sentence.

Vocabulary and homework assignments are due Friday.  Spelling test Friday.  I will also post weekly newsletters and vocab block on the website in case you leave it at school.  We have had a great start to the year.  Keep it up!!
