poem and greeen sheet

Tonight's homework is the usual green sheet, the mystery project (due Tuesday), and to finish the poem we spent about 30 minutes on in class.  The poem needs to be 8 lines minimum, should rhyme, and should be humorous by exaggerating an ordinary event (like the ones we've read in class about hanging laundry, doing homework, soda bottles, and hot summer days).

Test tomorrow

Recitations are over (except for a few select students), and kids did VERY well for the most part! Congratulations!
Test tomorrow on last set of Word Whiz words. It will include some old words as well.
Also, an updated average with details of assignments was given to students in blocks 2 and 4. Students in block 2 are required to have a parent or guardian sign the report.
Block 3 students will (I hope) come home with updates on Friday.
