Spelling and Vocab Words

I will no longer be sending spelling and vocabulary words home on Fridays, and we will not have a spelling test next week.  Too many students are losing or forgetting their words over the weekend and only 0-5 are getting 100% per week.  Feel free to have them practice from the posted words here because I will continue to put them up on Fridays. Also, our reading test was changed to Tuesday, so we will have our "Ants! They are Hard Workers!" test then.
