Language Arts~
Today we began our new novel study. We will be spending the next several weeks reading and learning language arts skills by reading "Maniac Magee" by Jerry Spinelli. This book is the legend of a boy who completely changed a town by his actions. We will be using Rit words and higher level thinking skills as we read each day. Everyday, the students will have comprehension questions, a journal entry and a vocab quiz. The first vocab quiz is tomorrow.
We will still be doing spelling and grammar everyday. There will still be a spelling test, grammar test, and weekly assessment on Friday
HW: Finish questions and journal entry. Study for vocab quiz.
Math: Our focus today was on turning fractions into percents using a calculator.
HW: Journal pages 147-149 and study link 5.8 Many students completed this in class.
