It's October!How did this happen? October? Already? Ah, but I LOVE the fall! This week we will be reviewing all of Unit 1, and testing over vocabulary, spelling review, comprehension, and writing. Our comprehension skills to review are: sequencing, elements of literature, author's purpose, main idea & detail, and text structure. This week we will be reading the novel The Great Gilly Hopkins. We will read and discuss this novel together! We will also take an AR test on Thursday with the potential to earn 5 POINTS towards our goals! YAHOOOO!!! In math we will be talking about subtracting across zeros.

Finally, students should be at 70% of their AR and AM goals TODAY - so keep encouraging them to work hard!
