Language Arts:
Today in Language Arts we switched for Vocabulary Vine, discussed pronouns and antecedents, reviewed our Word Master words, and listened to our read aloud.
During computer lab, we took the time to continue typing our published book pages. We also spent the last part of our Language Arts time having a read-in. At this time, everyone was busy reading and logging minutes for their in school reading time.

Homework:
***Grammar page 98
***Read and record minutes-calendars are due on Friday. We need everyone to step it up and read, read,read!
***Word Master test tomorrow
***Has your child read and passed their 3 AR tests yet? Remember that 3 books passed is the 3rd grading period reading requirement. Keep encouraging them at home to read AR books and take the tests.
***Reading projects(poster) is right around the corner.
