Kristian's Second Book Review

Hi Fifth Grade!

Hey everyone! I will be back tomorrow! Thanks for hanging in their with me when I need to be home with my mom. I hope yesterday went well, and please continue to behave today!

I posted a new vocabulary game to the right. It is fairly simple to begin, but then it gets challenging! See what level you can get to without losing your lives. If you don't know the words, look them up on the Internet and then try to choose the right one to go into the sentence!

I also posted a new math game, tackle math football! I think that you boys will especially like this. It has the Steelers ranked higher than the Cowboys, which bothers me a little, but notice Kort and Will, where the Broncos are ranked! :)

Have fun and I will see you tomorrow!
