PLAUDITS and praise for ALL of my Memrise players!! I hope using Memrise helped you learn the words and made Tuesday’s vocabulary test a breeze.

Some of you have asked for the link to our next unit of study. I’d like you to take a break from vocabulary this week and be fresh and ready for unit 2 next week. 🙂 But, if you really can’t wait, here it is: Memrise Voc. Unit 2

Look at us go!!!

My summer reading included essays, short stories, historical fiction, and a non-fiction about the creative process. Take a picture of what you read over the break and I will include it with mine on this post (and give you some extra credit).

YAY AMIRYA!!!!!

YAY ANAYA!!!!!
