LA: We had our usual busy morning today! After returning from IMC and Gym, we jumped right into our spelling pretest-which was a great review of our plural rules. We also learned more about linking verbs during grammar, talked about sequence of events and the definitions of our story vocabulary words-(patchwork, mysterious, responsibility, midst, loosened, amazement and sores) We finished off the morning by writing an essay titled, "Why I'm Proud To Be A Northpoint Star."
RIT words for the week:
Antithesis-saying the opposite of what you really mean, for effect. Example: "That was a cool move, man!"
