Today I gave the students pretests over their spelling and sight words.  If they made a 100, they will not have to retake the tests tomorrow.

The only homework for tonight is to study. 

Tomorrow is the Christmas party.  Remember the students can wear their pajamas.  They must wear shoes with soles.  They will not have to pay for dress down if they wear pajamas.
