This week we worked hard on improving our most recent STEAM Challenge (pictures coming soon), showed our beautiful smiles on picture day, and had Counseling with Mrs. Grindstaff. Please remember we will have a spelling test every Friday. Your child will record new words each Monday in their planner followed by lessons with these words throughout the week. Additionally, students should practice their words at home. If you are unable to read the words recorded in the planner please discuss this at home. This way your child can independently correct the word(s) the next day when they return to school. Spelling words will not be posted on the blog as a way to foster independence and responsibility. Thank you so much for your support with this!
