***Be sure you are signing your child's agenda nightly***
***NEEDED: The class is in need of index cards for something the students
are going to do at the beginning of next week. They are going to use index
cards to create a memory game for the poetry terms. This will allow them to
review the poetry terms in class throughout the entire nine weeks. If you
could donate a pack of index cards, I would really appreciate it. They can
be lined or blank, but I prefer white. Thanks so much!!

HOMEWORK: Do pages 115 and 116 in your spelling workbook and complete ONE
option…due FRIDAY. Your test will also be on Friday.
Options:
-write your words 3 times each...each time write the word in a different
color (you can use marker, pen, or colored pencil)
-choose at least 12 words and draw a picture to go along with each one (label
the picture with the spelling word)
-make silly sentences by using all your words in ten sentences OR less.
Underline the spelling words. You can add suffixes to the words, but the
sentences have to make sense EX: The child’s appetite for chocolate caused
applause from several valuable and reliable doctors.
- make 12 of your words by cutting out letters (or entire words) in a
newspaper or magazine and
gluing them onto notebook or computer paper
****You may do one extra option for a 5 point pass to be used on any
assignment.
