Modal Auxiallaries & Concluding Paragraphs

Happy Birthday Jose!  Thank you for the yummy cupcakes.

This week our Bible verse is found in James 1:2-4 NIV, "Consider it pure joy, my brothers and sisters, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. Let perseverance finish its work so that you may be mature and complete, not lacking anything."

The two standards that we will be focusing on are  Literacy.W.(3,4,5).1d which focuses on how to write a concluding statement in the opinion paper.  

The other standard has to do with modal auxiliaries which have to with a special kind of helping verb - it conveys various conditions or functions such as can, could, or must. 
Literacy.L.(34,5).1c.

Third graders did well on their math test today.  5th Graders will have a mid-chapter test tomorrow and should study tonight!

I am still missing a few permission slips for Kennedy Space Center - please have those in as soon as possible.  

Parents and family members, thank you again for coming on Friday! It was such a joy to have you in our classroom and I know the students enjoyed having you in here as well.  Their big smiles spoke volumes!

Our quote for today is from E. E. Cummings,  “The most wasted of all days is one without laughter.”
