Rain or Snow?

Today was a nasty day! The kids were not at all happy about having indoor recess, but I did see a few students gearing up for the I Love To Read Challenge by reading...

Language Arts flew by! The students spent their time listening to details about the upcoming I Love To Read Challenge, reviewing skills for ISTEP, typing their poetry, and working on a practice ISTEP writing prompt. Tomorrow we will spend some time reviewing our writing and color coding our papers.

Homework:
***Fluency and Flow questions are due on Friday
***Spelling words 2x each in cursive
***Handwriting packet
***Prefix/Suffix sheet or Sequencing sheet
