Boys and girls, I wanted you to know how proud I am for the excellent job you all did on your animal projects! I had so much fun watching them and loved hearing you tell me what you learned from your research! A superior job done by all of my students!!!! This week is a short week as we don't have school Thursday or Friday. Enjoy your long weekend! Monday Math lesson 11.4 pp. 651-656.

New words for "W" copybook: draw, colors, over, drew, great, sign, show.  Write words 2X each in your "W" copybook.

Look at pp. 54 and 55 in your hardback reading book and listen for the sounds as you find 2 things that rhyme with reach. Find a picture that rhymes with head. Say the so
