Lexia
Lexia is up and running now. Although, I'm not sure how many licenses our school will have as a whole. For now, feel free to go to lexiacore5.com and practice reading from home. Lexia can count as your 20 minutes of reading homework.
Language Arts
This week we answered the question “What can you learn from the way a character acts?” First we read a folktale called How Chipmunk Got His Stripes.
