We have also started monthly timed test for all operations. This week we will have another paper pencil assessment that is timed.

Morphology- Starting in November 2nd students will receive a word list of the week which will also include Red Words. We will be practicing this list of words during the week and students will be tested on Fridays. I will send a paper copy and also include a list in this newsletter and have it posted on my website. These words will need to be studied throughout the week.
