Reading: Students are still working through their 2nd reading group novels!

Spelling/Grammar: Formatting quotations and citations, and using context to help discern the meaning of words.

Science: Finishing up our circuit boards for today’s celebration. Then we are moving on to a mini-unit on graphing.
