Writing - This week some students will finish their opinion piece about their favorite food. Students will state their opinion, supply reasons that support an opinion, using linking words (e.g. because and also) to connect opinion and reasons, and porvide a concluding statement. Students who have finished will begin working on a persausive piece about seating arrangements for March.  In mechanics, usage, and grammar students will use abbreviations for titles, days of the week, and months.

We celebrated Valentine's Day together with lunch from McDonald's!



There's nothing better than Chickien McNuggets! Except maybe a cheeseburger!

This is the best day ever!

I could do this everyday!

Happy Valentine's Day from Room 101E!
