ELA- Mr. Jones

With conferences this past week, we had a light week in class. We visited the Book Fair and had some extra reading time during class periods. More drafting Realistic Fiction Stories and helping students who are running into obstacles is also something we encountered. Next week, we will focus on meaningful dialogue, and writing great beginnings, and revising where needed.
