Vocabulary and Word Study

- SpringBoard Unit 1 Vocabulary

Reading Selections

- "The Scholarship Jacket" by Marta Salinas (Students will have a print copy, but you can access the story online as well.)

Reminders

Open House- Thursday 8/16 @ 7:00

Notes

I realize you may not be able to see any grades in ParentVue/StudentVue. I will post those once I feel like the kids' schedules won't change anymore. (That's easier than trying to transfer assignments and grades.)

Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I look forward to meeting everyone on Thursday night!
