Reading: We began our new story today. Mrs. Haugen's homeroom needs to finish reading the story tonight and be ready to quiz over it tomorrow. The kids also have a storm chaser story to read and answer the questions on.
Spelling/Vocabulary: Test over spelling words is on Thursday and vocabulary is on Friday. We spent some time reviewing them today, and I think they have them down pretty well already. We also took a look at the prefix intra. Homework: finish guide word worksheet.
Grammar: We are working on our subject and predicate unit. No homework in this class.

My online grading system is back up and working. The kids are all entered and their grades are starting to accumulate. It is really helpful for parents to keep an eye on their child's grades. If you have any questions about an assignment, ask your child first. They may be able to answer your questions. If not...please always feel welcome to contact your child's teachers at ANY time!
Today's homework:
Read 20 minutes
Spelling worksheet front and back is due Monday. Students who missed 1 or 2 on the pretest do not have to do this particular assignment.
