Spelling Words: review of past weeks.
Spelling homework is a review of past week's words. I have provided a copy of all the words in a "flash card" form so you can help your child with the last two pages of the homework. Use the cards as traditional "flash cards" as well.

Miscellaneous:

Don't forget to read each night for 20 minutes.

Mr. Whittier is going to allow the students to wear their Halloween costumes to school on the 29th. Please make sure that they follow the guidelines you received either by note or email from him. If you have any questions, please contact the school.

I only had a few students turn in the 5 sentences last week. Please work on that this week. It is helping a whole lot. Thank you to those of you that worked on them with your child and sent them back to school.
