Snow Day #...Way too many!
Please keep reading your 20 minutes each day, and signing your reading log!
Book order due date will be extended to next Tuesday, due to all of the days off!
We are VERY off schedule as far as vocabulary and spelling tests go! There are no spelling tests this week, or next, as we are working on Greek and Latin roots, prefixes, and suffixes. There will be a vocabulary test next week, but I can't tell you what day right now!
Hope to see you all tomorrow!

Homework:
Read 20 minutes- we DO have the reading log back for this w eek, so make sure I get a parent signature, or it's considered late work.
Spelling- this week we are not having a spelling list. Instead, we will be studying Greek and Latin root words. The kids have a worksheet on this topic. It is on the back of the reading log.
Reading: Primary and secondary source worksheet
Science: Ecosystem crossword puzzle
Lots of homework tonight, but we had 45 minutes of work time, so if they were focused, the homework itself should be minimal!
