Story Test Today

In Grammar we are working on Linking and Action Verbs.  Linking Verbs are is, am, are, was, were.  Linking verbs connect two parts of a sentence.  The dog is cute.  Action verbs show motion or movement.  He ran to the store.  We practiced using these verbs in class today.  

Last Night's Homework - in Reading this week we read "My Diary from Here to There" and learned about some of the struggles of moving, as well as the challenge of immigrating to a new country, from Mexico to the United States.  We took our story test today.  We are working on keeping our own personal narrative diaries this week. 


Block 1 is listening to the read aloud Woof ,  and Block 2 is listening to Mr. Lemoncello's Library.  Block 2 is working on the novel study Stone Fox.  

This week begins the third trimester!  Rocket Town is Friday.  Report cards and Winter AIMS scores will be sent home Friday.  

This week we are on spelling Unit 22, and we are learning words with the prefixes of in, out, up, down.  Spelling Unit 21 had some rough grades. It was a difficult unit.  Please continue to practice any misspelled words, as they will reappear on our Unit 25 Review test in a few weeks.
