  1. Mrs. Eckert,

    Should we be keeping a copy on hand of the reading vocabulary and science vocabulary to review with our kids during the week?

    Are they tested on these vocabulary, or just part of their daily school work and assignments.

    Thank you and have a wonderful Monday evening. ;-)
