We loved having our grandparents in class on Friday! Our time together was spent attending an assembly and doing a fun activity with our grandparents. Thank you to all of the grandparents who joined us for this special day.

Please see below the spelling words for this week. We will only have 20 words this week as we have no school on Friday. We will review on Wednesday and test on Thursday. Please practice saying the phonograms each night.
