Be sure to check Spelling City for the words for this week. I will post the vocabulary words for the week tomorrow. The story and the list name for this week is Cook-A-Doodle Do! Some students are on the 3rd grade list and some are on the 4th grade list. Your child knows what list they are on. Remember that Spelling City offers games and activities that use your child's spelling words for the week. This is a great way to practice spelling words and have fun at the same time!
Our class Valentine's Day Party will take place on Friday, February 12 at 1:45. We will have snacks and exchange valentines. Your child will need to bring in a box or bag to collect their valentines.
