This has been dubbed scarecrow week for our class by me! We've got all kinds of activities and crafts about scarecrows we're going to work on starting today.
Due to a short week, there will not be any spelling words or reading vocabulary words/story coming home this week. We will be busy, though, crafting and doing reading projects from books in my class library.
Math- Review week
*Report cards are coming home today
*Homecoming game is Friday night
