Week of 9-4

Labor Day is a governmental holiday. To learn about the origins of this day, CLICK HERE. We have a regular block schedule and regular Friday schedule this week but no "Day 1"/Monday.

We will continue in class with our unit on nouns, taking a look at collectives, functions of nouns/pronouns, plurals, and possessives. We'll continue working on the character traits chart, and the second Membean and Roots tests will be on Friday. IF YOU KNOW YOU WILL BE OUT ON FRIDAY, PLEASE REMIND ME SO YOU CAN TAKE THESE TESTS EITHER THURSDAY OR TUESDAY.
