Spelling/Word Study: Week #9. Students will receive their list on Monday and test on Friday. Please encourage your child to study his/her words each night.

Social Studies: this subject is taught by Mrs. Kornder. Please check your child's agenda daily to see if they have homework in this area. Questions, please emailmkornder@shakopee.k12.mn.us
Writing Help & Pennies
Also, part of the project will include finding a penny to represent each of the years that an event occurred. So, once your child has their events, please help them to remember what year the event occurred and find a penny with the year on it. It is a really neat project when it is complete! Thanks for your help!
