Greetings Parents and scholars. It will be our first full week back and hopefully we'll all make it through in one piece. We're about to wrap up the comparative modifier unit and begin agreement with subjects/verbs and pronoun/antecedents. Some students have begun reading The Boy in Striped Pajamas, and we are still in need of more copies. Our writing focus will be persuasive. Any student who prints the persuasive notes on Wednesday's agenda may use it in class to insert their answers.
