Spring!

Hopefully, spring is finally here!

MUR 5th and 6th: This week we continue to work on our independent study. We discussed visual aids and students began creating sketches for their visuals. We will not be having spelling tests for the next two weeks to give students ample time to work on their project at home!

MUR 7th and 8th: This week we began our nonfiction unit. We are reading Kennedy's Last Days and discussing the life of JFK. Throughout this unit we will be focusing on fact vs. opinion, tone, author purpose and traits of JFK.
  Packets from David Copperfield are due this week!
