*Spelling: We will be on list 4. We will have the pretest Monday. Three homework assignments will be due on Thurs. The homework assigned depends on what group your child is placed in after the pretest. Both groups do a cursive sheet and then have 2 different additional assignments. Please help your child manage their assignments for the week so they are not scrambling on Wed night to finish all 3! The test will be on Friday.
