I appear to be having problems with my blogsite again. It is not allowing me to enter certain things in certain places and words are appearing out of place again. Sorry for any inconvenience. It is not life or death, just sometimes confusing and difficult for me to get the information down the way I want it to be. I have to check and recheck everthing and I don't always get every error.
As you know this is basically TEST week so be dilligent at your studies. Things like the Spelling test are hard to schedule due to our daily progress but you can guess that it will be the day after we complete list #4. Study a little each night as it will difficult to study all of your work in one night.
