*Due to our copy paper shortage, students will no longer be receiving a weekly spelling and vocabulary sheet. We will take a pretest on Mondays and check our work to ensure that students have the correct spelling list. (Words will also be posted on the blog for your reference.) They will have time in class to copy the vocabulary words and definitions (which will of course also be posted here on the blog). I apologize in advance for any inconvenience this may cause, especially if students are absent the day the lists are assigned.
You can also find spelling and vocabulary choice activities on the right sidebar of the blog.

*ABC order due Tuesday.
*Spelling choice due Thursday if you made less than 90% on last week's test.
