Hi, students! I hope you're having a great weekend--the rain has been wonderful. I'm sure you took advantage, and curled up with The Secret Garden to read your chapters for Tuesday!

Below are your new (and last) states for your spelling test on Friday, October 11. I have decided to postpone your book report projects on The Secret Garden. They will be due on Monday, October 17 rather than on this Friday. Enjoy your day off tomorrow, and I'll see you on Tuesday.
