sorry this post is late!

Here is what we did last week:
Essay read/write pre-test: We finished analyzing the essays assigned in class and began pre-writing/brainstorming our own essay based on one of the prompts. I fyou were absent, ask Mrs. Eddy for a copy of the essays. we also began reading our "choice" books and we spent a little time finding  about about how many words/pages we read (how fast) in order to think about how long it would take to read the book we are currently reading.
