Good morning 7th graders,
In case you didn’t know, the 4th of May is a very big day for fans of Star Wars, mostly because the date – May the 4th – sounds a lot like a common saying in that universe – “May the force be with you”. Whether you like Star Wars or not, word play is always fun.
I hope you all had a fun weekend and the plants around you are bursting with life after all the rain and wind. Today you have five items for your Literature / LA To Do List:
- Favorite Journal Entry of Week 6 (2 – 5 minutes)
