. . . on this new, redesigned site! I'm excited, aren't you?? Happy
Be sure to submit your email address to this blog once again. I am asking you all do to this again - and get your parents to if they are interested,also - because of the shift in web technologies that Marchionda.org is undergoing. Hopefully all of this will work out of the box, but if it doesn't don't be afraid to email me.

REMEMBER TO BRING BACK YOUR GYM SHIRTS FOR TOMORROW!!

Also, our school district is holding a writing contest for students in each grade level. Students are to write about how their teacher makes their day special. I would love to see some of you show off your great writing abilities! I would bet that we could have a winner right in our classroom. There is a thread about it in Club Geek right here. Feel free to join in the conversation and get pointers about a good essay in that thread.

We have started spelling list number 9 dealing with the different spellings of the sound /oi/. We learned that the sound /oi/ can be spelled with "oi" or "oy". Our list of words is:
  1. joyful
  2. choice
  3. voice
  4. joint
  5. moist
  6. spoil
  7. royal
  8. annoy
  9. noise
  10. employ
  11. soil
  12. loyal
  13. boiled
  14. destroy
  15. pointy
I double-dog-dare you to type your words in this thread in Club Geek making the spelling of our spelling rule a different color. That's right, a double-dog-dare! Winking

Some of you chose to practice some challenge words from our reading series. Those words are: earthquake, volcano, hurricane, weather, rumble.

Lastly, we will be having a math test on chapter 6 on Wednesday. Until then we will be brushing up on borrowing, double borrowing, and borrowing from nothing. On Thursday we will be having a short social studies test on geography and communities. The test will be shorter than usual, but a study guide will be going home tomorrow. That's it for now. See you all tomorrow.
