I am sorry, I thought I posted this last Friday, but apparently I didn’t!  I apologize!  Hopefully I will get organized soon.

This week we will be working on taking our first Performance Task.  This is a district wide language arts assessment to let me know how your student is doing.  It will take several days because we will just do a little each day. 

We will also be learning about verbs, how to write an opinion, and starting guided reading groups.  Your child will also be receiving their take home reading book this week, so watch for that.
