How to Do Mad Libs

Grade 4s! Some of you are not reading the directions when you are completing work. Please do not rush through your assignments. Please make sure that you have read the instructions fully. 

If you need assistance with how to do a Mad Lib - I already had posted a how-to video last week - but it appears some of you HAVE NOT watched the video and are also not reading the directions in the assignment! Please watch the videos & read the instructions - stop and check to ensure you understand what you are being asked.

Please watch the video about how to do Mad Libs by CLICKING HERE - you can see Yu Wei's funny Vacation Dialogue and what he rents...


Pay close attention to what PLURAL means - and that your words on pages 3 & 4 have to match!

Happy Birthday

A little birdie told me that today is Gianna's birthday... So Gianna I am sending you:
Virtual of course from a safe socially acceptable distance! 💜😉

You can also send Gianna a birthday message by sending her a message on Gmail or Google Hangouts! I know some of you have been using that to talk to your friends (just make sure it's school appropriate!)

As well, we missed Alston and Rae-E's birthday's too in the last few weeks so this is for them:
