We are back into the swing of things after our snow day yesterday!

Language Arts:
Language Arts was busy due to double specials today. We were able to switch for Vocabulary Vine, start a writing activity based on a picture book, and listen to our read a loud.

Homework:
***Read and record your minutes. Remember that reading calendars are due tomorrow. This is considered homework.
***Skill worksheets. Remember to do both sides of each.
***If you have not turned in your permission slip, please do so tomorrow.

Things to Know:
***Writing pieces were sent home today. Please make sure to look over them tonight. We stress writing at least two full pages with every prompt. They can do this!
***Book orders were sent home today. Be sure to look carefully through them. I also sent home a Tab order which contains higher lexile books, but the books might contain mature content. Be sure to verify your order.

We are wrapping up this unit fairly quickly. Another practice quiz and our final test will fall some time next week.

Things to Know:
***Our ratio quiz and other assessments were sent home today. Be looking for them in folders.

Until tomorrow...
