Good morning my wonderful students! Thank you all for doing a great job, challenging yourselves and being flexible! I've been impressed by all of you and your ability to adjust as needed! In addition I've loved your work so far! Thank you for taking all this as seriously as you take your work when we are together! Believe me when I say I miss all of you guys and hope we can meet in person sooner rather than later! I want to challenge you with one thing today, how can you be kind to someone around you today? I mean a specific way. In times like these kindness and caring for one another is how we all get through! My family has enjoyed going on walks and meeting and talking with more of our neighbors, so look for ways you can do something similar today! (Especially with your families, being cooped up can be hard!) Below is today's work. Keep being excellent and I hope to have a new video up either tonight or tomorrow morning
Learning Target: I can explain the function of clauses and phrases in general and their function in specific sentences through adding clauses to a phrase I create.
