I hope everyone enjoyed their long holiday. That storm day was fun, but we are now behind on our work. This week we will concentrate on our writing on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and on Tuesday and Thursday (if it isn't a storm day) we will work on reading. You have planned your stories now and some of you have begun your introductions. This week we will finish the organization trait and complete our draft copies. We will also work on detail and using million dollar words. See you on Monday. A quick reminder that if you have your own recorder, please bring it in for Monday.
