The classroom Spelling Bees certainly brought some fun to our classes this past week! Congratulations to the following winners: Ammar Kalimullah, John Irish, Kevin Raher, Kelly Stapleton, Tosha Kadakia, and Steven Kryk. The grade level Bees will be held soon, so keep studying!
Here is a list of words commonly misspelled: February, recommend, schedule, commitment, vacuum, herbivore, mediocre, necessary, gorgeous, fatigue, diorama, taupe, mayonnaise. Do you often misspell any of these words? Keeping a list of words you often misspell and referring to it can help you conquer this troublesome task.
On Tuesday, you will select new novels to read for the next book report. Period 3 will select Historical fiction books. Periods 5 & 7 will select Adventure books.

Week of January 21
Monday is Martin Luther King's birthday. Enjoy your day off!
This week we will continue studying extended response, punctuation, and capitalization. ISATs are slowly approaching so it is very important to focus on these topics. Do you know how to correctly punctuate a letter? Hopefully, by the end of the week, you will!
The regular Reading classes have completed The Wanderer and are now reading, Dogsong. Could you survive the cold Alaskan winters on your own like Russell? It would be quite a challenge for me!
The Advanced Reading class will continue to read Lyddie and learn about her adventures as a factory worker. What would you say is Lyddie's greatest attribute?

Week of January 14
Don't forget to turn in your AR book reports by Friday, January 18. This is the day they are due!
We will finish reading The Wanderer this week. Do you think Uncle Dock and Rosalie will ever reunite? Will Sophie learn the true story of her parents? What will happen between Cody and his father? All these questions and more are to be answered this week!
In Language Arts, we will begin the unit on capitalization and punctuation. You will learn how to properly address a letter, use commas, and use other grammatical symbols.
Have a great week!
