Weekly Announcements

Happy early Thanksgiving! This week is a short two day week because of the long weekend for the holiday. There will be no school on Wednesday, Thursday, or Friday this week. Because it is only two days, we will NOT have any spelling words or grammar this week. We do, however, have a math test tomorrow. The study quizzes will go home tonight along with the workbooks we have been using in class for them to study from.
