3/14/11

Language Arts:
Today in Language Arts time flew by! Right after double specials, we took our spelling pretest, sorted our spelling words by their endings, reviewed the new RIT and story vocabulary for the week, and listened to our basal story. The genre for the week is realistic fiction. We did not have time today to work on any new grammar skills.

Homework:
***Tomorrow is our day to visit the book fair. If your child wants to purchase anything from the book fair, tomorrow would be a great day.
***Weekly is due on Friday-Don't forget the parent signatures at the top of the packet and each night next to the nightly reading minutes. Thank you!
