Math Packet due Friday (Oct. 2)!

Nightly spelling homework is due each day (pick from your choice menu). 

We don't have a reading story this week, we are simply working on skills such as character traits, sequencing and synonyms and antonyms. 

There will still be a test on Friday. It will be skill-based rather than story-based.
