The students are trying to get in a good work habit established. 4th grade is a bit of a shocker for some! A bit more getting used to, but we'll get through it.

I have extended the due date for the scholastic book orders until Wed, Aug 24.

Our reading story is "Donovan's Word Jar" for this week. The following are the vocabulary words from the story: leisure, disappointment, perseverance, uneasy, compromise, and chortle.
