Please have students study their spelling words for our trial quiz tomorrow. Their words can be found on my post for this week. 

They have 8 IXL skills I'd like them to reach 80% proficiency on. Please tell them that as they are used to doing them until they master them at 100%.

We also have a Bible verse for homecoming they can practice.  I will not quiz them on this, but they need to know it for homecoming.
