Marvelous Monday!
Without specials today, it was a long day. We were able to get a lot of things accomplished though.
Today in Language Arts, we took our pretest in Spelling, listened to our Time for Kids article on tape, reviewed the new vocabulary, worked with our Reading Buddies, discussed pronoun and verb agreement, shared our Portrait Poems from Friday, and started creating Sonnets.
Homework:
***Spelling words 2X each in cursive
***Cursive packet-due Friday
***Fluency and Flow- This week only the questions are due. The Home-School Connection sheet will not be completed this week. Instead, each student has a review worksheet to turn in on Friday instead.
***Reading projects- due March 6th. (Many students have not completed an AR. Be sure your child is reading the same book every night in order to complete a book.)

In Math today we worked on computation on white boards and worked on finding fractions of whole numbers by using word problems and fraction sticks. We also completed two short quizzes in order to review measuring angles and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators.
Homework:
***Page 265 and Study Link 8.4
