Thursday-SPEED SORT
Note: If the sort homework exceeds 10 minutes any day (Monday – Thursday) please feel free to stop and sign anywhere on that day. I will count that as completed homework. For example: “Wilma is working hard on her homework but it is taking too long.”, include parent/guardian signature.
