Happy "can you believe it?" Tuesday!!

 

Today, we are going to take our root vocabulary quiz.  Then we are going to read Call It Courage and answer some questions. Later this week we are going to take the writing portion of our district assessment. It is Expository writing, just like our Courage essay. So it should be breezy easy.
