Hey sixth graders! There you got the point. No class today. However, we can not stop here. Remember, if you own Mr. Melendez a project or homework, this the moment to hand it in to me.

Today's homework: Read the text selection When I was Puerto Rican and be ready to answer comprehension questions. The story can be found in this Blog.

Memoirs is a genre which allows you to share your experiences. That is what Esmeralda did.

When reading the story, pay attention to prefixes and suffixes.
Hello fifth graders! I know you are happy! Don't worry! Class will be resumed as soon as possible.

At least for now, I want you to remember what the types of sentences are. You also need to know how to recognize them. Nothing better than a game.

This is also a good game which can help in understanding the sentence structure.
