Language Arts:
Today in LA we took our spelling pretest for this week and worked on our grammar skill which is possessive pronouns/contractions. We also spent some time working as a class on a few sample ISTEP questions so that we can practice writing detailed answers and complete sentences. Finally, we read and discussed chapter 14 in our novel study before heading off to Vocabulary Vine.

Homework:
***Comprehension questions and vocabulary sheet is due Friday
***Reading calendars are due on Friday

Reminders:
***ISTEP starts next week. Be sure to check your email for our schedule. It is important that every child arrive to school on time, be well rested, eat a healthy breakfast, and come to school with a fruit or vegetable snack.

Math:
Today we jumped into Unit 9. A parent letter was sent home today explaining the unit and the vocabulary that we will be discussing throughout the unit. I am excited about this unit because it has a strong emphasis on algebra.

Homework:
***Worksheet
***We have our Acuity test tomorrow during our normal math time.
***Unit 8 tests and several skills assessments were passed back today. Please get parent signatures on the test and any requested skill sheet.
