Language Arts:  Next week we will be reading a song lyrics story called This Land Is Your Land.   We will have a test over the skills that go along with our story on Thursday.  This is not a comprehension test over the story, so the students will not bring home their Reading books.  This will be our last reading test.

* Students will be able to take AR tests Monday, Wednesday, and Thursday this week.  The last week of school, the students will be able to take tests on Monday and Tuesday.  

Spelling:  This week’s words are multisyllabic words and high frequency words.  We will be doing activities in class to practice our words, but you will also need to practice at home.

Our Spelling Test will be on Thursday.  This will be our last spelling test.
