Language Arts.
Double specials today! Music and then IMC. We then came back and took our spelling pretest. We wrote some complex sentences during grammar. We reviewed our vocabulary: endless, realistic, universe, astronaut, sensible, protested and paralyzed. We also talked about characters and inferences. We learn a lot about characters by what they say and what they do. We listened to our story: The Astronaut and the Onion.
