We played Text Twist 2 today. It's really fun and a great way to practice spelling.

Mrs. Frates led assembly again. Writing workshop - finishing up personal narrative - on to realistic fiction.

We keep forgetting to tweet. Room 8 earned 2nd place for walking, biking, scootering, and car pooling during Walk and Roll week. Way to go!
