Orchestra Trip & Spelling Test Tomorrow



Tomorrow is our orchestra field trip to the Junior High.  We will be attending during our Block 1 time. 

Today we worked on using apostrophes in contractions and in possessive nouns.  We completed Grammar workbook page 95.   

Contraction Games

We will aim for a Chapter 7 Social Studies test over the midwest on TUESDAY of next week.  Students will be completing study guides in class and should be well prepared.  Today we read books about the Midwest region and created fun tourism posters.

Our words on this week's spelling list are homophones.  They are fairly easy to spell but need to used properly in order to be correct on the test.

I am also working on AIMS one-minute fluency reads with the students.  They will be reading three separate selections with me.  These reads will be happening over the next few weeks.  It does take a while for each student to get a turn.  Results will be sent home at the end of the year and hopefully will reflect good fluency progress!

Here are some fluency tips to help you at home:
