Today we reviewed language arts skill for morning work. In vocabulary vine we learned about rupt (break) and ced, cess (go, yield). We reviewed last week's RIT words and also learned about this week's words. We also read some passages out of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory that were very descriptive and talked about using descriptive words in our writing. We started brainstorming descriptions for our new candy. We had music and gym.
