HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

Language Arts:
Today in LA we reviewed the parts of a book, took time to practice irregular plurals, played the "Stand Up" "Sit Down" Common Core Vocabulary review game, switched for Vocabulary Vine, and wrote to a prompt as ISTEP+ practice. I am really pleased with how well and how much the students are able to write these days. I tell them everyday,"The more you read, the better you write".There must be some truth to that...

Homework:
***Weekly packet due on Friday- Study your spelling and Common Core words.
***Assessments will be given on Friday even though this is a short week.
