Today was library day. After going to the library we reviewed figurative language and did a small group Gallery Walk with identifying examples in context and explaining what the author is trying to say literally.  We practiced with comparative and superlative adjectives as well.

“My Greatest Memory” Brainstorming page is homework if you did not finish this yesterday or today. Please bring it completed with you to class tomorrow so we can plan our personal narratives.

Unit 2 Test Retake is available on Thursday @ 3:00pm (my room) or Tuesday January 22nd @7:15am (Mrs. Bailey’s room)

Please be aware of the following:

Starting on Monday, January 28, text notifications will be ending for Verizon Wireless customers who use the free Remind service.  People who normally get my Remind messages as TEXTS (only text messages, not those that use the app!) will no longer receive them.  If you want to continue receiving Remind notifications, you will need to download the app instead.
