Spelling and Vocabulary this week...

Due to our shorter days and the amount of work we needed to fit into reading last week, we were not able to get all of our weekly Reading Street work done.  Therefore, all 5th graders will NOT have a new spelling list and vocabulary words this week.  They will still use "Motion Machine" words and will be tested on Friday.

Begin With the End in Mind
