What a beautiful day!
Language Arts:
I don't know if the kids are excited but I am! Tomorrow is our Reading MAP test. I am anxious to see how much growth each student has made since last Spring. Please send them to school tomorrow with a healthy breakfast and a good nights sleep. We will be ready!
In class today we completed a graphic organizer together for chapters 1-2 in order to pick out the most important parts of the chapters. We also read chapters 3 and 4 and marked up our books by picking out various examples of figurative language. The students also took a quiz over chapters 1 - 4. They were given time in class to start working on their homework as well.
Homework:
***Due to MAP testing, the students should not have a lot of homework, if any at all.
***Journal entry for chapters 3 and 4(From Matt's point of view)
***Copy the figurative language from your book onto the corresponding colored sheets
***Remember- You may get started working on your Tic-Tac- Toe activities whenever you have free time.

With a partner, we worked on geography cards that had us answering questions about rivers, lakes, and interstates that are located in this region.
