Parents;
Here is a cool sight which combines our current spelling words with a variety of games.  The 5th graders got a chance to work with this program last week. After playing with the words, many received a better spelling grade! I'm not sure about a connection yet, but it surely cannot hurt. Your 5th grader knows how to find our class list.  Let them show you what they can do!

Week of September 21-25

This is a review week for our classroom. Every sixth week we look at the prior five weeks and look at what we have learned in reading and grammar. At the end of the week we will take a "benchmark test" which includes everything we have studied since the first week of school.
