We took a spelling pretest over all 25 words today.  Test will be on Friday.  We reviewed the differences between plural and possessive nouns.  We practiced identifying plural nouns.  We previewed our new vocabulary for chapters 22-24.  There will be a quiz tomorrow.  We read and discussed those chapters as well.  HW:  Titles for chapters, questions, and journal pages.  Most students are done with all of this.
