This Week’s Assignments
Reading –Students will be working on their end of the quarter testing. They will also
be reading a fairy tale book to go along with our lesson in writing this week.

concepts at home with your children or check out the blog. I have some activities
and lessons on the blog under geometry and fractions. Students will have a quiz
on Friday.

in this war.
