I am sorry that I did not blog over the weekend...

Language Arts:
Today in Language Arts we were busy as usual for a Monday. Right after having double specials, we took our spelling pretest, reviewed our new RIT words for the week, discussed our new story vocabulary, and listened to our story on tape. We also worked on white boards practicing helping verbs and their tenses.
Weekly homework packets were also passed out as usual today. This week, I am asking all the students to start writing their work in cursive. Please be sure that it is all completed this way.

Homework:
***Every student needs their biography book checked by me. This is an assignment. It was due today.They are due no later than tomorrow. If not, "Oops" slips will be issued.
***RIT vocabulary quiz- tomorrow
***Vocabulary Vine quiz tomorrow
***Weekly- due Friday
