Spelling

Hey parents,
Several of the kids went to the swim meet and did not bring their folders, so I am going to post the spelling words.

My fellow teachers have enjoyed the Roman unit greatly. 

I wish there were camera in the past so that we could see all of the things we have discussed.

Did everyone get a chance to knead the bread last week?
