Spelling Poem #30: April

Thank you for all your hard work last week!  I will be posting student work to my activities throughout this week so that you can see what Level 3/4 looks like and compare it to your work.  Overall, everyone did a great job!  However, we are still forgetting simple things such as checking for capitals at the beginning of sentences and periods at the end.  That is why for today's Additional Questions, there is a question that will help you practice catching those mistakes.  :)
