3.35 Spelling/Vocabulary

First, the only "real" homework for Monday, 5/8, is to read your hero book if you haven't already.  All school library books are due tomorrow, so you really need to read about your hero tonight.  Thank you!

The only other homework this week is to study the review spelling & vocabulary words.  I recommend going through and focusing on the ones that are difficult for you, not the ones you already easily know.  Not all of the words will be on the test Tuesday.
