It was a little hard to come back today, for the kids!  They had the field trip Wednesday and the day off Thursday.  I think they were confused as to what day today was!

We took a vocabulary test today.  The kids got new spelling and vocabulary words for next week.  The spelling test will be next Friday and our vocabulary test will be a week from Tuesday.

The courage essays were returned to the kids today.  They can chose to keep the grade they got on their rough draft, or turn in a final draft and be graded on that.

Other homework:
Verb tense worksheet
Science center idea web
Finish reading Earthquake Terror and write your event summaries

Students with 0-1 RC quiz passed will need to stay in for recess until they pass 2 quizzes.  We have been in school for a WHOLE quarter and more reading needs to be happening for those kids.  If you aren't reading at home 20 minutes a night, you aren't doing your homework.  The only way to become a better reader is to read!
