Students received a CD, bookmark, and handout about the author who will be visiting on Friday.

Students went into the computer lab to type up their class finals.

Remember to hand in the class final, and, if you haven't yet, turn in your tall tale and your underland story.

On Wednesday, come dressed to go outside and to sit on the ground.

Today we read from an example book for an Underland story: Gregor the Overlander which the first in a series of five books. Students should be working on developing their underland stories.

We also used that book to look at developing a character, and ways an author gives the reader information about the character.

Students received their class final assignment which is due by May 23rd at the latest. We will have one computer day -- May 19 to type these up in the computer lab. See the assignment in a nearby blog.
