Ms. Reid's classroom for January 18-22

Some students really struggled with the jingles test this past week. If your child doesn’t have the jingles memorized, the application that we do in our daily assignments will continue to be difficult for them.
There is a cool word quiz on Wednesday of this week. Please make sure your child is prepared for this.
We are continuing to read The Janitor’s Boy in literature and apply the skills we discussed in the first part of the year. We will begin to look for different types of story elements as we read. Some of these will be old and familiar to the students and others will be new.
