Homework

Tonight's homework:

- Read 20-30 minutes with a good book.
- Word Study:  Cut, Sort & Copy at home.
- Math:  Finish the addition packet we worked on in class ("By the Bushel").

Tomorrow we start to work on our Terrestrial Environment projects.  If you can find any information on your environment (desert, grassland, rainforest, temperate forest) please feel free to bring it in as an additional source!

Current focus (for parents):

- Writing:  Final Drafts, moving into Non-Fiction writing (focus on animals).

- Word Study:  Sorts will be posted tonight.
