On Monday we will be putting together our Language Arts Rotation Packet. Consisting of Spelling that they study, Prefix/suffix sheet, Vocabulary sheet, and a reading response sheet. They refer to this packet as BOB. Bob is worth lots of points and is a big part of their grade. We do much of it in Class. However they are expected to take it home to have it signed by parents so the parents can see what they are doing in class and have more input. This Packet is Due on Friday Morning first thing or it is considered late( Late packets only get 1/2 credit and unsigned packets lose 10% of the points)
