Reading:  We were given a lot of time to work on our Figurative Language Projects in class today. DO NOT FORGET TO SHARE YOUR GOOGLE SLIDE PRESENTATION WITH ME!!

Writing:  We worked on brainstorming obstacles we’ve had to overcome or life’s challenges for a possible personal narrative story idea.  Your storyboards for “Overcoming Obstacles” and “My Greatest Memory” are due on Tuesday! (January 22nd)

Last opportunity for the Unit 2 Test Retake is on Tuesday January 22nd @7:15am (in Mrs. Bailey’s room) – you MUST sign up and bring retake entrance slip (with parent signature) or you will be asked to leave.

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.
