Spring!

This week is the visit to BizTown, as well as our first examination of figurative language, which will lead us to more short stories, Shakespeare, and creative writing. On Tuesday you will receive books of Greek mythology in which you will choose short stories to read. We will not be studying comparatives and superlatives in the adjective unit; the cumulative grammar test (they are always cumulative) focusing on adjectives will be Friday. We'll review on Day 2. You will see a Membean assessment pop up again on Monday. Please complete it Monday at home.
