What's happening in Language Arts ...
  • We started our Paper Bag Book Reports yesterday, and I was very impressed with the presentations so far. We unfortunately didn't have time to complete all the presentations, but I am looking forward to hearing the rest on Monday.


  • There will be no spelling next week, we will resume that after March break.


  • This weeks writing prompt for Author's Circle is "If your pencil could talk, what would it say about you?"


Have a wonderful weekend!
