Today:
We completed journal prompt #12: Describe an object that you find of interest in my classroom using 25 adjectives. Do not list what the object is. 1 page.
We exchanged these and tried to guess what people wrote about. 20 points on the quiz today if you could guess correctly. Thanks for the lifted journal prompt Ms. Willard....
