8ELA-We started our spelling today with a pre-check and a lesson on words with the short vowel sound.  We went to the library and chose our first books of the year then worked on our Reading Journal.  We set our first terms reading goals and how many pages we should be reading a week.  HOMEWORK:  SPELLING UNIT 1 DUE WEDNESDAY, READING JOURNALS DUE FRIDAY, SUMMER MEMORY SECOND DRAFT DUE TOMORROW.
