A Spelling Pretest will be given on Wednesdays.  If your child makes a 100% on the pretest, then he/she will receive a Hip Hip Hooray certificate.  The Hip Hip Hooray certificate let's you know that your child made a 100% and will not have to take the test on Thursday. Any student making below 100% will have another chance to test on Thursday.

BOOK ORDERS:

          We will send Scholastic book orders home each month.  This is an optional purchase.  This is an inexpensive resource for obtaining books for recreational reading.  The children love getting the books, and it motivates them to do extra reading.  Please make the check payable to Scholastic Book Clubs.
