Reading: Students continued to investigate vocabulary words related to reading.  The following words were added to their vocabulary journals: narrative, fiction, non-fiction, conflict, external conflict, internal conflict, and solution/resolution.

English:  Students will be spending time this week learning about sentences.  Today's inclass assignment involved identifying the four types of sentences.

Spelling: Students have spelling homework this week.  Spelling assignments are obviously designed to assist students with strengthening their spelling skills.  However, the practice activities are generally designed to practice skills that go beyond spelling- grammar, reading, etc.  Spelling homework is given out on Monday and is due Thursday at the beginning of the hour.  There is a quiz over the words on Thursday.
