We will have a short reading test over what we have learned so far in Unit 2 of our Animals unit.  Students will be tested over letters and sounds: p, i, n, l, ll, d, o, b, c, 
As in our previous reading test, these are multiple choice questions and students will answer using an ActiVote, a hand held device linked to our promethean board and computer.  They will have to find the correct spelling of words containing the previously mentioned sounds.  
For example:  Which is the correct spelling of lap?     a. lip      b. lup      c. lap


Congratulations to the following students who earned star student awards this week:
Hailey, Jaliyah, J'Vier, Zariyah

I hope that you all enjoy the long weekend!  
Hugs and High Fives!
