I enjoyed my time at The Ohio State University, bringing back new thinking of my own and to share with teachers at WL-S, but man did I miss my students! Reading We got right back into the swing of things, analyzing what makes a fiction story fantasy, and what makes a fiction story realistic fiction. Writing This week we worked on some special Thanksgiving Day poetry. We will be moving into editing our writing next week Vocabulary We will be keeping the new vocabulary we identified this week, and carrying it over to next week.
