Whew!

Well, I just got home from class! I am exhausted! During my break, I took some time to look at all the timed writing essays we did on Monday. I have to say that I am very impressed with the quality of writing and hope you all make it a goal to become the best possible writers this year. That will only happen with practice! We have amazing writers in our room, and some of you don't even know it!

Homework:
spelling, fluency, and science.. OH MY! (see yesterday's post for details)

Math - my class has a 8 section poster that we all worked on today in class - all about polygons - EVERYONE got a full page explanation of what is due. OUR TEST IS FRIDAY!! Review will come home tomorrow.

Reading - Bring one piece of figurative language tomorrow (entrance slip!) Our test is Thursday. Today we studied the figurative language in "Elena" and also talked about the author's purpose (why do they put those little pieces in the story that are not elaborated on - oooh, it is so frustrating!!!!) These make you better thinkers.

Conference slips - let me knwo if you can make our assigned time or call me (428-6133) to reschedule or to schedule a phone conference.
