Is it really October? It sure is nice outside!
Language Arts:
Today in Language Arts we met with our reading buddies, listened to a chapter in our read a loud and reviewed our RIT words. We also focused on using our spelling words in sentences, finding synonyms for them, and sorting them by their consonant clusters. We also worked on singular and plural noun forms. Lastly, we learned about what a primary source was and read a short oral history along with answering some questions about it.

***We will have a RIT vocabulary quiz on Monday. Be sure to study.
***Weekly homework packet is due tomorrow
***Reading projects are due on Oct. 18. You should be finished reading your approved book and working on your project. Are you working on you project?

We spent half of our class time in the computer lab working on Study Island. Next Thursday we should be all set up in the lab to work on our new Odyssey program that we are all excited about. After our lab time, we worked on a variety of review skills on white boards while others were finishing up their Unit 8 test. We will start Unit 9 tomorrow. Unit 9 deals with fractions, decimals, and percents.
