This week in reading, our focus skill is determining theme (central idea) of a drama. In grammar, our skill for the week is pronoun/antecedent agreement. In writing, we will begin practicing for our state writing test by reviewing the R.A.C.E strategy when answering writing prompts.

Make sure to study vocabulary and spelling EVERY night. Students should also read at least 20 minutes each night. I would appreciate any donations of Ticonderoga pencils 
