Spelling: None today.
Cursive: Ten cursive sentences, seven or more words each, are due Fridays.
Reading: Today was a discussion day in Literature Circles.
Writing: Students practiced reading poems that they will share at our Borders Poetry Slam tomorrow. Students have been notified that all students with original poetry will be welcome to attend this trip. Students with no final, published poetry of their own will remain at school.
