It is hard to believe that this is November already!
Language Arts:
Right after double specials we took our spelling pretest, reviewed our new RIT vocabulary as well as our story vocabulary and listened to our story of the week on tape. The story this week is a folk tale which brought up quite a discussion in our class.
During our grammar time, we discussed and practiced finding the action verb as well as the helping verb in different sentences.
Homework:
***Weekly homework packet- New this week is the Think and Compare section. This section asks the students to answer the questions at the end of their story in complete detailed sentences that pull information from the story.

Today we spent some time working with our table groups discussing different characteristics about the Northeast. We talked about the people, the economy, the history, the government and the geography of the regions that we visited. The remainder of the class time was spent with each student working on a letter that they are writing to a friend or family member describing their tour of the Northeast.They will need to refer to the handout for specific assignment guidelines.
Homework:
***This letter writing assignment is due on Wednesday.
***Study guides for chapter 4 were passed out today. Our test will be next week. Be sure to study a little each night.
***Please Note- My homeroom class will be visiting the planetarium tomorrow. Be sure to see the green half sheet that was passed out today.
