**READING/SPELLING  Our story this week is “A Walk in the Desert."  We will read this story, as well as other stories and poetry, to reinforce the skill for this week.  Read the story at home this week.  See the "Homework" letter for this week.  Please practice Spelling words AND SENTENCES every night at home! We will check words at school daily.  (The only night we do not write Spelling words is Wednesday night... That is up to parents!) Spelling test will be on FRIDAY.

**There are two parts to doing homework: Doing the work at home, and returning it in the homework pocket of your apple binder.

We will write our first and last name and the date on our papers. I am so proud of your effort!
