- Spelling Unit 18 as assigned last Friday.
- Vocabulary Re-test for Bridge to Terabithia if you got 50% or less OR if you just want to improve on your mark.

..and for Friday:
- No spelling test this week (we are going to work on unit 18 more as there are some great grammar questions.)

Hi everyone,

Your math test will include the following topics:

That's about it. See you tomorrow. Don't forget to finish your French flashcards if they aren't finished.
