ELA:
Another productive week in ELA. We had our first Morph's test and will have a test on list #2 on 9/20. We will work on getting all flashcards updated because the tests are cumulative.
We finished up summarizing last week with our 10 Buck Summaries and will move onto Inference this week in our I-Ready reading book. I am still finishing up RRJ chats so we will not have a new RRJ this week. We will have a SS ticket on the peoples of the Northwest. This will be due on 9/20.
We will continue our study of grammar in our "There is no Glamour in Incorrect Glamour" lessons!
Remember RAH logs are due every Thursday! This is a homework grade and will impact your average if you do not turn them in every week. 📕📑
Our Classroom-Book-A-Day is going well and we have read 17 picture books so far! yahoo!
I will be adding an extra credit option this week. On your own time, you may write a "5 sentence 5 star review". Tell about the book and what you liked or did not like about it. Follow Mrs.Ray's Writing Rules for Life and make it Top Quality to earn up to 5 points toward a low grade. (Maximum of 20 extra credit points per 9 weeks.)
Our Bin of Happiness winner this week is Andre F. Collect your Happiness on Monday!
