Greetings....

I hope everyone is keeping warm. 

We switched things up today because of the delay.
Language Arts~
Today we took our grammar test over possessive pronouns.  We also did a practice writing prompt to prepare for ISTEP.  We learned about the Greek/Latin root Port in vocab vine.

Things to remember for tomorrow-
* Reading calendars are due.  Students need to have read 150 minutes beginning last Sunday to qualify for the no homework pass next week.
*Tomorrow is the last day to buy gum grams.
*We are having a read-in.  Feel free to bring pillows, stuffed animals, blankets etc.....
*Tomorrow is blue day.  Wear blue!

Math~
Today we learned the formula for finding the area of a rectangle. LXW=A  or BXH=A.  The grid page, math boxes 8.5 and study link 8.5 are homework.
