Week of March 18 -22

Hello! In reading class we are still working on our chapter book called Polar Bears and the Arctic. Math classes are nearing an end with our fraction unit. Spelling words for the week are: buy, Friday, fly, kind, why, child, mind, try, behind, sky, cry, high, right, by, light, and night. I realize that last weeks words were hard. Your child will bring home last week's test in their Tuesday folder. Please help them study any missed words so that they are successful with them this week. Early out on Wednesday due to conferences from 1 p.m. - 7 p.m. Thank you! Mrs. Staffileno
