Spelling for the week of October 22, 2012



Happy Monday! It was another adventurous day in room 104. Amongst other things, we received our TBS mission. I am forbidden to speak of the details openly, but feel free to ask me for another copy of the mission details in class or email me with any questions about the project.

We also received our new spelling words for the week. They're based on the root "port," which means "to carry." Enjoy!
