I apologize for not putting up a post in the past couple weeks! We have been super busy diving into Charlotte's Web! The students have been doing a fantastic job reading the book and learning the challenging vocabulary words that go along with it. Enjoy the pictures of our classroom transformation into Zuckerman's Barn.

PSSAs in 2 weeks!
Can you believe the PSSAs are almost here? We have two weeks until the PSSAs, and I am confident that the students are prepared! I attached picture of the students working extremely hard in their Learning Centers! Our centers were focused on Multiple-Meaning Words, Affixes, Synonyms and Antonyms, Fact and Opinion, Main Idea, Table of Contents, and Main Idea Cards. Please be sure to review the PSSA WORDS TO KNOW that are found on the pink worksheet sent home last week. We will be playing a big JEOPARDY Game with these words!
Important Reminder:
Parent Teacher Conferences are this Friday, so the students do not have school!
