Language Arts~
Today was double specials day. We had music and went to the library. We came back to the classroom and started off with a spelling pretest. We then talked about subject pronouns and reviewed plural and possessive nouns. This is still giving a few of us some issues. We read a short story that introduced our vocabulary and comprehension skills for the week. Our vocabulary includes: weekdays, cardboard, slithered, genuine, apologize, harmless and ambulance. Our comprehension skill is to make inferences and generate questions. We then listened to our story, "Dear Mr. Winston."
