Quizlet activities. The stories we are reading this week are
from Storyworks Jr. Some of the stories will be uploaded onto
my webpage if your child would like to reread the stories. You
can find them under the February issue. If your child chooses
to reread the story, they can log it on their reading log sheet as
long as they read for 15 minutes. Spelling homework is due on
Thursday. Staple all homework to the tic-tac-toe menu. Please keep
this paper on hand so you can use it to study the spelling words.
