We're in for a short week next week.  Remember we only have school Monday and Tuesday. The kids won't have new spelling or vocabulary words.  We'll start over fresh when we come back in December. 

Last week we worked on homophones and conjunctions.  We finished the story Fear Place.  We worked on using clues from the story to make predictions and inferences.  We learned the difference between the literary techniques of foreshadowing and flashbacks. 

We will continue these skills this week and also do some creative Thanksgiving writing!

Our next quiz (#6) is due when we come back from Thanksgiving break, so keep reading over break.

Homework:
Front and back of homophone crossword
Mayflower story and questions
