We have spelling tests tomorrow!!  New words will go home on yellow paper.  Also, the kids are very excited about a new educational game that they can play on the computer.  Reading Eggspress builds reading and comprehension skills in a fun way! The kids are really enjoying this program.  They are more than welcome to play at home!  If they cannot remember their password, or you would like it, please let me know and I can get that for you.
