Homework February 29

Happy Leap Day. I hope everyone makes the most out of their extra day.
Today we finished up some things that have been going on in our room this week.
We continued to practice our writing strategies. We took a spelling test and a vocab test. We also worked on a read along puzzle. In math we explored the designs of polygons. At the end of the day we all geared up for the dance fundraiser for Riley's Hospital that will be going on next week. There was a flyer sent home today that talks about our Spirit Week next week as well as the daily fundraisers.

As a look ahead to next week, report cards will be going home next Friday. All make up work needs to be handed in at the start of the week so it can be added to the overall grade. Have a great weekend.
