Week of September 14th- September 18th

I cannot believe we are already in our fifth week of school! Please look for your child's progress report to come home on Friday. Also, coming home this week will be a permission slip for our first field trip. The third grade will be traveling to the Edwardsville Children's Museum on October 1st for a science activity focused on simple machines. Please return the slip and $5 this week. We will be asking 4 parents from each classroom to attend with us.

Below are the assignments for next week along with the basic spelling list and the challenge spelling list. All students that get a perfect score on the basic list will be allowed to take the challenge list. All spelling practice at home should be focused around one of these two lists.
