We began this week with working on the difference between using a period (.), a exclamation point (!), and a question mark (?) by writing sentences for each one and sharing them with the class. Students also continue to work on their memory and listening comprehension by listening to the story The Adventurer’s Guild and having class discussions about the events of the plot.
