Book Report Update: All students should have a book. Some students still need to show me their reading plan so I can get them their requirement sheet for their project. This was due on Monday 3/24 so I will extend to this coming Tuesday 4/1. Students need to show me their reading plan by then or I will pick a project for them! In reading, our focus skill will be literary devices. In grammar, we continue our study on verbs with a focus on past-tense and future tense verbs. In spelling, we won't be hearing all the letters in a word when we learn about words with silent letters. Students will have a homework packet this week. March Book-It calendars will be due Friday, March 4. Thank you and have a great weekend!!
