Into the swing of things!

By now we are well into the swing of second semester! This week we have read several short stories and discussed how authors emphasize different elements within each selection. Also, ask your student what edmodo is! We have used this 21st century tool in our classroom all week and I am pumped about how I can use this in the classroom!
