ware – an item or object that someone makes, usually an artist or a crafter (The jewelry artist invited everyone to her shop to see her wares.)

My sentence: The clock maker invited everyone to his shop to see his wares.

And I didn’t even look in the dictionary!

GET THIS HOMEWORK SIGNED BY MOM OR DAD!

Oh and have a great weekend.  🙂

Today in class, I encouraged the students to dig deeper into their library books.  Students could choose to work on a word sketch paper or to read a chapter from their books and write a summary on loose leaf.
