Each student received their list today and all they need to do is cut them out, sort them, and then place them in a baggie to be brought back tomorrow. Usually I will have them cut them out and baggie them before they leave, but time got the better of us today. Their homework will look a bit different with their Words…some of it will be math related, others will invilve writing, or finding synonyms. thanks! Mrs. Tucker
