I am glad to be back in the building today after being gone yesterday for a Math Committee Meeting

Language Arts: We started off today in Vocabulary Vine and then we jumped right into our novel study. The students had their pens and pencils out and they were ready to start marking up their books with examples of figurative language examples. We read and discussed chapter 4 together. They the students were given time to read and answer the questions for chapter 5. We will have an assessment tomorrow over this first section chapters 1-4.

Homework:
***Writing page 9 is due tomorrow- edited with a parent signature
***Read chapter 5- Answer questions for chapters 4 and 5 on your notebook paper in complete detailed sentences.
***Be looking for I Love to Read information to be coming home in folders tomorrow!
