9/13/11

Language Arts:
We started off our morning in specials and then we had our safety drills. The students were very well behaved and I was proud of them!

Today we took our vocabulary quiz over chapter 12 and then moved to the floor to listen to and discuss two chapters. Before we switched for Vocabulary Vine, we discussed how to write a newspaper article and practiced the Who? Where? What? When? Why? and How? The students will use this lesson as a spring board for writing their own newspaper article tomorrow by filing out a graphic organizer.

Homework:
***Study 10 vocabulary words(chapter 13(5) and chapter 14(5))
***complete the comprehension questions for chapters 13 and 14
