***Book Reports due back on 3/31

**Reading – We will continue our story Wings.   We will have a Vocab Quiz on Wednesday 3/26 and the Story Test on Thursday 3/27. Our story "Wings" is an example of fantasy where unbelievable things can happen. In our story, the main character Ikarus Jackson is a new boy.  He has wings and can fly. Because he is different, the other students are making fun of him.  We will focus on Cause and Effect as well as Sequence. You can listen to our new story by clicking on the following link: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/30012488/READING%20STORIES/UNIT%204%20STORIES/10-03%20Wings%20%28Fantasy%29.mp3

  **Grammar - Our lesson this week is on Singular and Plural Nouns.  Our Test will be on Wednesday 3/26/14. 

• Pronouns are words that take the place of nouns.
• Pronouns that take the place of singular nouns are singular pronouns. I, me, he, she, him, her, and it are singular pronouns.
• Pronouns that take the place of plural nouns are plural pronouns. We, us,they, and them are plural pronouns. You can be used as both a singular and a plural pronoun.

 **Math –This week we will continue reviewing all times tables.  We will not begin a new Topic until after the PSSA Test is complete.  Next week we will review skills such as; Measurement, Time, and Money in preparation for the PSSA Test.

 **PSSA Prep – The test will begin on Friday 3/28.  We have been taking our Science time to review topics in preparation for our test.  Hopefully the week of the PSSA Test we will get our little visitors.  GET RERADY because The CRAYFISH are coming!!
