If you could be any animal; what kind of animal would you like to be and why?

Hello Msenglish Community!

It’s been a very busy week.  Some people would even say exhausting.  6th graders finished their classroom project (Hurrah!) And my homeroom, same as the rest of our school, prepared for United Nations Day.  It was very inspiring to see how our students organized themselves and represented various countries.  The displays were incredible as were the traditional costumes.  Awesome job!!!!! I especiialy loved Japan, France and Thailand.  But I admit I’m a teeny bit biased. Well on to…..

…Reminders for next week:

5th Grade:  We will continue reading By the Shores of Silver Lake.

6th Grade:  You have a Reading test on Thursday, October 30.  Study the elements of a Pourquoi tale.
