IR: 20 min

Reading: Finish read day 3 for some students

Spelling:  spelling will be a little different for a bit. I sent 10 words home for each student but each list is different depending on the student's needs.  Students need to study these 10 words for a week and then return the paper with their lists on it to me signed by parents/guardians (meaning they've practiced those words for a week).  These words should now be words they know and I should be able to quiz them anytime and see them spelled correctly throughout all subjects.
Note: due to the fire alarm at the end of the day, most students may have forgotten their lists so you will see them tomorrow.

Social Studies: study for test Friday

Spirit day tomorrow: dress your best for Picture Day! :)
