Novel Units

We will be doing novel studies for reading for the next 3 weeks. Our class will be reading A Bear Called Paddington. They were issued books from the library today that they may take home, however every student must have their book in class everyday. We will be using them everyday!!! We will have vocabulary from the chapters we are reading each week as well as a study guide as usual every Thursday. We will also be doing spelling from our regular book. I love Paddington bear and I know they will too! :)

Also, even though Friday is a very fun day, we still have to take our Spelling and Reading Tests and VOCAB Quiz. Remember - the faster everyone comes in and gets to work, the faster we will be done and can get ready for the parade.
