Coming Up Next Week:
Spelling: We are continuing the spelling series Words Your Way. Fortunately, the
students have worked with this program in 2nd grade. I will be taking an inventory
on Tuesday and the students will be working with patterns they struggle with
during Word Work in Daily 5. I should have their word sorts to them by the end
of next week. We’ll officially start the “menu homework” the following week.
