Language Arts:
Today in Language Arts we reread our story for the week , reviewed RIT vocabulary, switched for Vocabulary Vine, met with our reading buddies, and continued working with adjectives.

Homework:
***We will have our usual Friday assessments. Please make sure to practice your spelling words in cursive.
***Reading calendars are due tomorrow and on Tuesday. (Tuesday will be our final minute count. We need everyone to really step-it-up this weekend and read! We need to reach our school wide goal of 1,000,000 minutes!
***All instruments are due tomorrow- This was the family project that was assigned over a month ago.

Math:
Today in math we spent the majority of our time in the computer lab working on Odyssey. (I would like to remind parents that if at all possible, students should be working on this program at home. It is an excellent way to help practice both math and language arts skills.) We also reviewed computation, completed a minute, and worked on graphing the outline of the United states by using coordinates.

Homework:
***Journal p. 298
***Unit 8 tests are graded and will be passed back to the students tomorrow. Please be looking for them in their folders. They need to signed by a parent and returned to school on Monday.

Social Studies:(Doms)
Today our class took the chapter 9 test.

Reminders:
*** My homeroom has their test tomorrow over chapter 9. Please review the study guide.
***We will be ISTEP testing next Tuesday-Thursday. Please make sure that your child eats a healthy breakfast rich in protein and gets plenty of sleep. They are encouraged to bring "mint" gum to chew during the ISTEP.

Until tomorrow...
