Happy Cinco de Mayo!!!

Today was lunch on the lawn. Did you all enjoy being outside listening to cool music with a cool breeze? Congratulations to all who correctly identified the pictures from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Pittsburgh is my hometown. FYI....Pittsburgh is home to the HEINZ Company. What does HEINZ make? I'll bet you use it all the time!!!

What did we do today???

6th/8th grade- We worked on Unit 2 Short Vowels from the Everyday Spelling Book>>tomorrow there will be a PRE-TEST. Please look over your words for the next class.

7th grade- We went over the vocabulary list from Barrio Boy and read about it's author, Ernesto Galarza. Tomorrow we will begin the reading of the story!!

Question of the day????

The United States celebrates the Fourth of July each year to recognize our independence from England. My question to you is....Does England have a Fourth of July?    I am looking for MORE than a YES or No answer to this question. I will not have an email address while I am here. You will need to write your answers on a sheet of paper with your name on it. I do not want to see answers on small pieces of paper.

See you tomorrow!!

Mr. Pellegrino
