Literacy
Practice your word sorts each evening. We will have our test on THURSDAY this week.
If your haven't written your simile, please take a moment to copy it onto the neon pink paper.
Today in our novel we saw how poorly the characters have been treated in the past and present. Sometimes it breaks my heart reading the novel. Ivan becomes very angry and calls the children spitting on the glass "slimy chimps". Even though the children are behaving awfully, Ivan is remorseful. When have you felt ashamed of something you said or did? Remember, when connecting with characters we write the part we connected with, details about your connection and then a connections with the character's feelings.

Math
Review exercises for units of length. Please have a parent check and sign your homework.
Test on decimals Wednesday. Check weekend post for test questions.

Health
