Happy Monday! Hope everyone enjoyed another 3 day weekend!

This week in word study, students will be back to their normal word study sorts. Some students may have changed groups based on their current spelling abilities. Please make sure students practice sorting their words each night so they are familiar with their categories especially since it is a short week. The test will be on Friday as usual. (

In content this week, we will be continuing with our unit on the Ancient Egyptian culture. We will be learning about the contributions and inventions of Ancient Egypt. Our test got pushed back a little due to the snow days. We will aim for our test to be on Thursday. Make sure to review the study guide. In math, we will finish up our probability unit and start a new unit on time.

***We are collecting prize box donations. Please feel free to send any prizes for our classroom store. The kids really enjoy visiting the store each week. (***
