Vocabulary: Our last regular vocabulary test will be on Thursday, over My Side of the Mountain vocabulary.  We will then begin studying for our end of the year vocabulary test, which will be May 26th.

Reading: Our last story will be My Side of the Mountain.  We will read that this week, and watch the movie of it on Thursday! Anyone with all of their work done, and who has also passed the quiz over the story, will be able to watch the movie. Our skill this week is drawing conclusions, and inference.
