Today the students were writing using appositives. An appositive, a word or phrase that gives more information about the noun or pronoun it follows, made the students' sentences more interesting.
The students have no homework tonight.

Students should begin studying for the pronoun test. It will be given on Wednesday, March 25th. They do have a study guide to review, and they may study any handouts or worksheets on pronouns in their notebooks. The following pages in their workbooks have information on pronouns: 7-12, 107-112, and 121-122. The powerpoint on Friday's blog is also a good review.
