Hello! We are giving the SAT Test this week. Please make sure your child is at school on time. A good breakfast and plenty of rest are some great strategies to help your child be ready to do their best. We will not be doing spelling or a new reading lesson this week. We do plan on continuing with Unit 3 in Math. Have a great week!
