Homework Happenings for Monday, March 4th

We have a special "K-Prep" week, so we won't be having a regular spelling list, DOL, reading or grammar. Instead, we will be practicing with reading and language arts tests. Your child may be bringing home some passages for you to view with them. These will not be graded, except together in class. This should give your child a better idea on how well they can answer questions in the testing format. We are having regular math and Social Studies. Social Studies: Complete the Chpt 7 review on pp 262-263 (1-12). We are looking at taking the test probably on Thursday, March 7th. Keep studying the study guide!! Penpal letters are here! We will be working on those this week also.
