This means students will have had 3 weeks to prepare for these words EVERONE should make an A........Please be mindful that we are ready to start counting money. In the past this has been a very difficult skill for the children to grasp.

This weeks skills will include:
synonyms/antonyms
punctuation (periods in abbreviations, commas in dates, colons in time)
