Book Fair

My 5th Grade ELA class will preview the Book Fair on Wednesday, 3/20.  We will purchase on Friday, 3/22.  My 4th Grade Reading class previewed today and will purchase on Tuesday, March 19.  There are some great books for sale!  Enjoy shopping!

Word Masters

Most students did very well on their first Word Master card!  Many have figured out how to print them onto their 5x8 index cards!   We have made minor corrections and are on to card/word #2.  Word #2 is "colloquial" and is due Wednesday, 3/20.  Card/word #3 is "circumlocution" and is due Friday, 3/22.  Thank you for your support with this new way of studying!
