6th Grade English

Today in the beginning of English class Mr. Watson told us to close our tablets and he told us what we were going do. We were going to take out our transitive and intransitive sentences, review them, and pick the best one in our group and the best one that we find we will share in class. We went over what Mr. Watson’s last class did and then we started doing our class’s sentences. Then Mr. Watson said that we could check our grades to see if we would get a progress report in his class. The homework is to read Chapters 10 and 11 in UTBRS. Here are the sentences from today…there will be a quiz on Wednesday.
