Language Arts:
This morning was very productive. We reviewed our story vocabulary and RIT words as well as practiced dictionary skills. During grammar, we worked with independent and dependent clauses and completed a page together in our grammar workbook. During our writing block, I modeled a personal narrative with details. This was in the form of an email. The students were then set loose to brainstorm a detailed email that they would send to a friend. They will continue with this tomorrow.
Homework:
***Weekly Homework Packet is due on Friday with Parent signatures or initials.
***Now is the time that you can start sending in your donations for our "Here's the Scoop" basket. (See the note that was sent home today.)
***Make sure that you are recording and initialing reading minutes each night. It gets difficult to remember how many minutes were read on Thursday night.
Reminders:
***Pajama day is Friday. Please remember your $1.
