I hope your child enjoyed the snow on Monday in lieu of attending school. Fun!

There will be Super Sports on Friday for those who have registered.

We have finished work on our expository essays with excellent results. The essays have been posted on a classroom bulletin board. We will begin the process of writing personal narratives this week.

There will be a spelling test on Thursday and a test on Chapter 4 – People Who Supply Our Goods and Services on Friday. There will be a math test on Module 11, Addition and Subtraction Grouping Strategies, next Monday, February 2.
