Short's Language Arts Class Students in Language Arts are supposed to read for at least 15 minutes each night in addition to other homework assignments. They are to log what they have read in their reading journal.  After every 25 pages, students are to complete a strategy that can be found on the front inside cover of their journal.  Students are required to read 500 pages each nine weeks.  We will be having a spelling test every Friday. Students get the spelling  list on Monday, and should be reviewing these through out the week at home as we are reviewing them in class. Spelling homework is given on Monday of each week, and is to be turned in on Wednesday.  Stems will also be given out on Monday of each week, and we will have a test on them Friday of each week.  We are currently reading stories from our literature book. 
  
Language Arts notebooks should be divided into five sections. These include:

Stems/Spelling

Reading

Writing

Journal

Other

Students, remember to use Discus (www.scdiscus.org)  and www.answers.com  when researching your topics.

We are beginning our next unit.  Students will receive their unit 4 study guide on October 22, 2008.  They should then begin to review for the unit test in addition to any other homework that may be assigned.
