3. Review spelling words weekly. The Pretest is given on Mondays. If a list "does not make it home" please contact me. Spelling tests are given on Fridays.
4. Students will keep a Reading Log. They may choose books from school or home, and should keep track of completed books. Please keep the log in his/her "Take Home Folder".
