Phonics/Spelling Words: Because I was out so much last week, I want to “reteach” this spelling/phonics rule. I did not leave a Spelling test for the sub because I did not feel I had taught the skill enough. SO, the words for all areas will stay the same this week and I will make sure everyone understands and can read these words! We will test Thursday—the class party is Friday!!
